For Linux / Mac:

For Windows only:

  • Note: Always select "Allow this app to make changes to your device" during the installation process.
  • On the last page of the Python 3 installer, select "Disable Path Limit" before hitting close.
  • In the start menu, right click on "Windows Powershell". Select "Run as an administrator"
    • In the Powershell terminal window, that opens, type "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned"
    • Keep this window opened for tomorrow
