In this tutorial, we’ll learn How to install & setup Python on Windows 10 operating system. Here we will learn how to download the Python setup from its official website, choose directory, setup Environment variables to make it work correctly for CMD terminal as well.
Before we start, let’s have a look at other facts about Python
What exactly is Python?

What are the benefits of Python?
There is a number of advantages to using Python. In a nutshell, let’s discuss some main pointers:
1) We can develop a Graphical User Interface based desktop application as we do in Java. We can process media content like images, videos, develop Games, Scientific computational applications.
2) Development of server environment for web frameworks and web applications.
3) Easy to learn and large community support
4) A user-friendly and less messy Data structure
5) More productivity and lightning speed for heavy-duty tasks including AI, Machine learning, etc.
Let’s get into it and discuss step by step how to make it room in your Windows 10 OS
Step 1) Go to the official Python website and click on download for Windows.
Step 2) Scroll down and select a Windows Executable installer

Or simply open the CMD command prompt by hitting CTR+R then run CDM enter. After that type “python” to start python development in CDM itself
Hope this quick Python installation tutorial helped … Do share this with others who just want to begin using the python powers.
