If you didn't do that, you can look at these instructions or you can find a tutorial on your own. So, these are the main things that you'll want to do for the Windows installation is add Python to PATH and save in this location. Don't ask me why these are the defaults for Windows. What the ideal location is is just C:\ and then Python and the version number, so if you're on Python 3.7, then it would say Python37. You can just leave everything as is and click Next and then in the Advanced Options, ideally you'll want to install it for all users, so everyone on your computer can access Python and then also, customize the install location. This might look different depending on what Python version you have. So, next you've got the Optional Features menu. Next, you're gonna wanna choose this customize installation so that we can adjust where it's gonna be downloaded to. If you don't do this, then you're gonna have to, if you've already installed Python and you didn't do this, you can look up tutorials about how to add Python to your PATH environment variable. The first thing that you'll wanna do is check this box that says Add Python whatever version to PATH, so this is how your computer will be able to know where to find Python. So, if you're on Windows, and you come to this screen. If you're on Windows, there are unfortunately a couple extra steps that you should take in order to make this install a little bit smoother.

The first one is it to install the latest Python version, the second one is to download the free community edition of P圜harm, the code editor we'll be using today and the last one is where you can find the lesson files. The first thing we're gonna need to do is actually get Python on our computer and also download an application to help us with writing our Python code.
