Installing Python on Windows shows how to install Python step-by-step.

I’ve been using Python on Linux, and I’d like to run it on Windows. So, I decided to create this simple article showing all the necessary steps to install Python on Windows. In this case, I’m running Windows 11 (I did not test it on previous Windows releases).

Downloading Python Installer

The first step is to download the Python installer:

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows

Installing Python on Windows

Installing Python on Windows is straightforward. Double-click the Python installer and follow the installation wizard as shown in the following pictures.

Note: Mark the option “Add python.exe to PATH” – it avoids the most Python issues on Windows!

Validating Python Installation

After installing, we can check the Python and Pip versions:

  1. Open the command-line (cmd).
  2. Execute the following commands:
python --version
pip --version

If you see Python and Pip versions, your Python installation was successful!

That’s it for now 🙂
