# Installing and setting up Python.
## Windows
### Check if you already have it installed.
- Do WinKey+R
- Then type PowerShell
- Finaly press enter
Next you are going to want to type in:
`python --version`
If you see something like this:
`Python 2.10.7`
Then you have python installed but it may not be the latest version.
### Installing Python
So there are a few options for setting up python.
The first one is from the Microsoft store but i would not recommend that as it is a lot harder to setup integrations with IDE's like VSCode.
So once you have run the installer and set python up you can do something called virtual environments.
So to use Virtual Environments (venvs) you need to run the command:
`venv`
