Here I am using Robot Framework with Python. So I will install Python first.
How to install python?
Step1: Go to the website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Step 2: Click on Download as shown below.
Step 3: After downloading python files.
- Go to the directory where the Python files have been downloaded.
- Double-click the file to start the installation process.
- In the installation process, select the option “Add Python 3.9 to PATH”.
Note: The exact version number (3.9) may vary, depending on the version of Python you have downloaded.
Step 4:
During the installation process of Python 3.9, there will be an option to select the “Add Python 3.9 to PATH” checkbox. This option allows the Python installation to be accessible from any location on your computer, as the PATH environment variable will be updated with the location of the Python executable. This means that you can run Python from any directory in the command prompt without having to navigate to the location of the Python installation.
Step 5: Click on “Customize installation“.
Click on the “Next” button as shown above.
Step 6:
Choose the option “Install for all users” and click on the “Browse” button to select the desired location for the installation. I am installing in path “F:\Python_app”. Click the “Install” button to initiate the installation process at the specified location.
The image above shows the installation has started and is in progress.
Step 7:
After successful installation, the following message windows will come. Click on the “Close” button.
You can know that you have successfully installed Python by checking in the command prompt/terminal by typing “python” and checking the version number, or by checking in the installed programs list on your computer.
Step 1: Open the command prompt.
step 2: In your terminal or command prompt:
python –version (2 times hyphen ‘–‘)
or
python -V
This command will display the installed version of Python. If the version is displayed, it means Python is successfully installed.
