Install Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux

Python can be installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS as well as certain other platforms such as IBM AS/400, iOS, Solaris, etc.

To install Python on your local machine, get a copy of the standard distribution of Python software from https://www.python.org/downloads based on your operating system, hardware architecture and version of your local machine.

Install Python on Windows

To install Python on a Windows platform, you need to download the installer. A web-based installer, executable installer and embeddable zip files are available to install Python on Windows. Visit https://www.python.org/downloads/windows and download the installer based on your local machine's hardware architecture.

The web-based installer needs an active internet connection. So, you can also download the standalone executable installer. Visit https://www.python.org/downloads and click on the Download Python 3.7.0 button as shown below. (3.7.0 is the latest version as of this writing.)
