Python Installation
1. Check System Type(64- bit operating system, 32 bit operating system) from System Properties.
2. Go to Official Python Website:-
Reference:- https://www.python.org/downloads/
Select Operating System based on your system configuration:-
( I am selecting Windows in my case)
You can select either Windows x86-64 executable installer for 64-bit or Windows x86 executable installer for 32-bit as per system configuration.
>>As my system is 64 bit , I can go with Windows x86- 64 executable installer.
>>If your system is 32 bit , you can go with Windows x86 executable installer.
3. After Downloading, click on the downloaded file to install.
4. While installing, don’t forget to select “Add Python to Path” and install launcher for all users.
If you deselect “Add Python to Path” then you must add Path to Environment Variables manually. So I would suggest not to go with that option. Always Select “Add Python to Path” While installing,

5. After installation, Restart your system.
6. Python installation comes with default IDE(will discuss in next blog post) called as IDLE(will talk about this later in this blog post)
7. After restarting system, check terminal for successful installation
Open Command Prompt, Type:- python --version
It will give you version for installed Python
Which confirms installation is successful
and also you can go to My computer->Advances System Settings->Environment Variables. Under User Variables , you will see Path, click on that , you will see 2 python variables as:-
C:\Users\mlera\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\
C:\Users\mlera\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\
(mlera – refers to my system user name).
So we are done with Python Installation Part.
Testing Python Installation with Programming
1. You can start executing Python commands in Command Prompt.
Type >python
It will display you installed python version and let you execute python commands
2. Also you can use default IDE Which comes with Python i.e. IDLE. Search IDLE from Start Menu of Windows.
You can use any of the above 2 ways, or you can install Python IDE
My personal recommendation will be either Pycharm or Jupyter.
IDE Installation - Pycharm:
I found a URL which is already available to help you to install Pycharm step by step:-
(Reference:- https://www.guru99.com/how-to-install-python.html)
Installing Jupyter:-( in next blog post as I am emphasizing on installing with pip for simplicity).

Using Online Compiler
Here is list of online compilers for python
1. onlineGDB
2. Programiz
3. Repl.it
4. Paiza.io
5. Rextester
You can use any of the above mentioned compiler for python programming but functionalities will be limited.
For more details of compilers, refer blog post :- https://rahulmanjinder.wixsite.com/mlera/post/python-facts-compiler-ide-flavors-companies-utilizing
For Example:- for OnlineGDB
(Reference : onlinegdb website for python )
