- getting started in python
- now some might why not JUST go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and download the first link (this is what i did). however i would recommend watching the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rx_JRkwAjY
- which highlighted two things i missed on my first install
- (a) default installation puts it in
- C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonVERSION
- I liked the videos idea of putting it in a directory off he on the root directory (all hail my 12 year old self playing around with MSDOS (NERRRRRRRD)
- (b) add python to environment variables - namely when you run in CMD line it doesnt matter which directory you are in (ie you dont have to be SPECIFICALLY in the directory you installed into) and is akin to the old AUTOEXEC.BAT days where you could "SET PATH=C:\Windows;C:\" (REF https://www.computerhope.com/ac.htm )
