Welcome to chapter 1 that is Python installation guide
0:02
So I will be explaining how to install the Python and Anaconda or Miniconda in your Windows machine
0:09
So with that said let us start. Ok so basically to install the Python you need to go and visit www.python.org
0:21
On this website you have to go and check for the latest stable version
0:25
I am just giving an example of stable version 3.11.4 for June 2023
0:32
Once you will find a stable version you just have to click on that
0:35
Download the exe file next next until it is completed. So for example we are at python.org in download section
0:46
Here you can go and check inside and download there will be a file on installer
0:52
Install for either 32 bit or 62 bit. So most of you might be having 62 bit of your windows
0:59
So you just have to click on that and then .exe file will be downloaded
1:04
I already have it so that's why I will not be clicking on it
1:08
So you have to just click on it and complete all the installations by just clicking next
1:14
just make sure you are adding the path and then just completing the install now
1:19
So once that is completed you also go and check for different documentation available
1:25
Also you can check with the different available stable versions. If at all you wanted to have a earlier version of Python you also can have it as per your
1:36
different application needs. Once that is completed you can go and check inside your command prompt
1:42
If at all the Python version is installed correctly you will be getting the output like that
1:48
So maybe I will just show the example where I am doing Python version and getting an output
1:56
as Python 3.9.12. That is the latest version available in my machine
2:01
So now if at all I wanted to install different libraries I need to do is pip install and
2:08
then library name. So why all these libraries and all is required to complete a different application development
2:17
you need different libraries as your base for your application or code development
2:23
On top of that you can create your application right. But now to install all these libraries one by one it will take time and also you might
2:31
miss some of the good or required libraries inside your code. So to solve this problem you need to install Anaconda and Miniconda inside your machine
2:42
So before that if at all Python is not installed you will get error saying name Python is not
2:48
defined inside your machine. So whenever you wanted to check why what is Anaconda, Miniconda or different thing inside
2:57
your coding practices you can always go and visit Stack Overflow check for the different
3:02
coding questions and answer even chat and UPTDs will be a good mentor to you during
3:09
your code journey. So basically whenever you are choosing Anaconda you have to make sure that you are having
3:15
good configuration of your system so that it will be installing over 15000 scientific
3:20
packages inside your machine automatically at once. But if at all you do not have that much requirement that much specification you can always go
3:29
to Miniconda. So these are the two websites which I will be showing for installation of Miniconda and Anaconda
3:37
Miniconda is nothing but a free minimal installer of Anaconda. It is a small new step version of Anaconda
3:43
This is how it looks like. So I will be showing it to you here
3:46
You can just according to your Python version you can click on the Windows install or you
3:54
can go over here and check the screen survival which will be helping you for your installations right
4:01
You just have to click next and then complete your installation. So that's it about installation part
4:06
I hope that was helpful. I see you soon in the next chapter. Thank
