Hello

I stopped coded a few months ago and now I want to know if I should enable admin or add python to path options

I specifically remember that It is better to enable one of those

[hallow skiff]

shouldn't require admin

definitely do add to PATH

[uneven oasis]

but I forgot

[uneven oasis]

Alright

Stay with me

I will do it now

Custom installation or install now

I think custom is better

@hallow skiff

[hallow skiff]

just Install Now is fine

[uneven oasis]

uhh okay

[hallow skiff]

if you mess up something on custom odds are it'll be more painful to debug later

you can go through with custom if you want, but preferably keeping the defaults

[uneven oasis]

it's already installing

can't go back to custom

Alright so$

it is installed

what do I do now

Is it installed now?

that's it?

I will make a mini program to test

[hallow skiff]

open window's default cmd.exe and type py

[uneven oasis]

It wasn't converted

I remember if i type something in the notepad, then switch the extension and run

it would work

[hallow skiff]

it is probably .py.txt, do you have Show file extensions enabled?

[uneven oasis]

I don't know, this is a new computer

How do I enable that?

I used to have that too

[hallow skiff]

windows button -> search for (just type) show file extensions -> first option that pops up

[uneven oasis]

um what

I did that

and I don't see that option

I will just search it up

[uneven oasis]

you are right

Thank you, do you know any modules I should install?

[hallow skiff]

Create a virtual environment before installing anything

[uneven oasis]

I remember pynput was my favorite, I will be sure to install that

one momet

one moment

[hallow skiff]

Create a folder for Python wherever you wish (imo preferably Documents or however you like to organise, just not downloads), then create a folder for the project and in the command line, after making sure it is in the right working directory, run ```
py -m venv .venv
