Installing packages in Python

Before we start installing any packages, we need to install PYTHON and PIP on windows.
  • Download python from this link. You can choose from different versions.
  • Run the .exe file. 
  • Don't forget to check "Add Python to environment variables" checkbox.
  • After installing python. to verify if its installed correctly or not, open command prompt and type python. If it is installed properly, you'll see this window.
Successful installation of Python
  • Now its time to install to install PIP.
  • To install PIP, download get-pip from here . Right on it and save as get-pip.py. Or copy everything and paste it in a notepad file then save it as get-pip.py.
  •  Open cmd in the folder where you have downloaded the get-pip.py file and type:
    • python get-pip.py
    • Sometimes py get-pip.py works instead of the above command.
  • It will install the PIP on your windows.
  • After it's installed successfully, you can start installing other packages using pip command:
    • pip install numpy
    • pip install pandas
    • pip install matplotlib
