Strongest of wills

Installing Python3

The very first requirement is having python3 installed in your local machine, send thanks to awesome developers such that installing python in any kind of OS is easy as breeze, let's figure our options of installing python. In case you have python already installed in your machine, navigate to check if python already installed.

Installing via Anaconda (Recommended)

Anaconda is a package-manager and does all of the nasty work for you to install python in your local machine using good 'ol .exe setup distribution (just like how you install any game/software)

A small tip: Don't mess with the settings of the installer just let it install at C: drive or whatever it chooses according to your OS as well as let it set environment variable just don't mess with it.

To install python3 just go to this link : https://www.continuum.io/downloads and download the correct installer in accordance to your operating system, and install python in your local machine. (remember to install python 3.6+ and not python 2.7, in short install the most latest version that they are distributing).

Via Python.org

Alternatively, you may also install Python from their official website at python.org and just downloading the correct installer in accordance to your OS and installing it from there (remember to install python 3.6 and not python 2.7).

A small tip: Don't mess with the settings of the installer just let it install at C: drive or whatever it chooses according to your OS.

Checking if python was installed correctly

Once installed, you can check whether everything went correctly or not by going to start menu and typing cmd in it and the command

python

which would return you some information about your system and python , looking somewhat like this indicating python is installed properly:
