Python is installed to all of our computers because it is useful framework for a variety of things .

To use the python interface from terminal just type python .

to check you python version just type python --version

to run a python script you need to type in the form :

./python_script_name.py

but very importantly it has to be executable first

chmod +x python_script_name.py

I hope it helps !

https://docs.python.org/3.6/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui

Installing Without UI: All of the options available in the installer UI can also be specified from the command line, allowing scripted installers to replicate an installation on many machines without user interaction. These options may also be set without suppressing the UI in order to change some of the defaults.

To completely hide the installer UI and install Python silently, pass the /quiet option. To skip past the user interaction but still display progress and errors, pass the /passive option. The /uninstall option may be passed to immediately begin removing Python - no prompt will be displayed.

All other options are passed as name=value, where the value is usually 0 to disable a feature, 1 to enable a feature, or a path.

I have used windows PowerShell to achieve this:

Download Python Exe File.. Feel free to edit 'URI' for the updated version of Python & outFile for your preferred Windows location

CopyInvoke-WebRequest  -UseBasicParsing -Uri  \
'https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.0/python-3.11.0-amd64.exe' \
-OutFile 'c:/veera/python-3.11.0-amd64.exe'

Install Python via Command Prompt

Copy.\python-3.11.0-amd64.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0

Set Python location

Copysetx /M path "%path%;C:\Program Files\Python311\" 
$env:PATH =$env:PATH+";C:\Program Files\Python311\"

You're good to use Python from command prompt now :)

Installing python on Linux - help?

You should stick with your distros version and only do a manual installation if not possible otherwise. If you really need to do it, have a look here: https://aruljohn.com/blog/install-python-debian/ More on reddit.com

New pc: how do I install python *correctly* this time?

Perfectly fine to use Windows, that's my personal preference (combined with WSL). I usually recommend using the standard Python installation, but if you're focused on doing data science Anaconda is technically a better fit. I'm going to assume you want a more generalised setup, so I'm going to explain the first one. Correct me later if you so wish. So, simply go to python.org and download the latest version, or at least 3.9 if you're not sure what you need supports 3.10 yet. When you run the installer, to make stuff easier in the beginning check the box to add Python to PATH, then just let the installer do its thing. Finally, once installed, check the box to disable the path length limit just in case - you probably won't need it, but it doesn't hurt. And that should be everything done for the basics. Virtual environments aren't a hard requirement on Windows if you ask me, but it's probably a good idea to get used to them. Personally I recommend using Poetry so that you don't have to worry about it at all yourself and because it's very modern, but you can get by without anything or by using the built-in venv if you so wish. Since Python was added to PATH, you should have direct access to running python, pip, and any tools you might install via PyPI directly. If you didn't, you'd use them via the included py-launcher. py -m pip That is all. Use whatever editor you fancy, I like VS Code with Python but you should try out different ones and find one you like yourself. More on reddit.com

The absolute maze that is installing python and path variables

The official python (python.org) on Windows? The modern standard install on Windows does not use PATH at all anymore. Anyone telling you to use that is trying to make the modern install backwards compatible with the old-school way of doing things. Instead, python comes with the " python launcher ", which is the command "py". To run a file: py myfile.py To install a module: py -m pip install Etc. py is automatically associated with .py and .pyw files, so you can just doubleclick them to run as well. BUT WAIT, THERE'S A CATCH! The normal, proper way to develop python code is to make an isolated virtual environment for each project. If you do this it will activeate the old-school python and pip commands. So if you are working in a virtual environment To run a file: python myfile.py To install a module: pip install Note most good IDEs have the virtual environment management built in and often enabled by default.

Install python on Windows WITHOUT using the official installer?

Instead to try to find a way around this problem by installing Python in an alternative way you should tackle the actual problem. If you google the error code you'll find out quickly that you must have a serious problem with Windows itself and not with Python installer. That you can't install Python is just one symptom. If you ignore the real problem you will run into it again and again and still have no fix. But this is your decision to make. More on reddit.com
