Installing Python

I've started to incorporate Python scripts into some of the techniques and effects that I'm demoing in my videos, so instead of covering Python in every video, I have made a blog entry for how to install Python.

First go to: https://www.python.org/

Find this section and click on the link:
Scroll down and find the Files section.

Identify the operating system and click on the link.  For me I have a 64bit Windows 10 installation, so I chose the one that is highlighted.


Once downloaded, run the installation file, and follow the installation prompts.

Once the installation completes, you can open a command prompt window by pressing the [Windows key] and then type "CMD".  This should bring up a choice to open a command prompt.


Click that, and in that prompt type 'python'.  If Python installed correctly you should see a printout similar to below:


If you see that set of printouts you have successfully installed Python on your computer.
