Installing Python
- Log in to your server via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). For more information on using RDP, see Using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to Log into Your Windows Server.
- Download and execute the latest Python installation package from Python.org. For Liquid Web servers, you’ll most likely want the 64-bit version of the installer, but you may want to discuss software requirements with your developer.
- Choose the recommended installation options for the simplest installation experience (You can also choose Customize Installation if you need to adjust locations or features, but this may require additional configuration. See Python.org for further instructions on custom installation options).
- Check the box for “Add Python 3.7 to PATH”. This will adjust your System Environment Variables automatically so that Python can be launched from any command prompt.
- Verify a successful installation by opening a command prompt window in your Python installation directory (probably C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37 if you’ve installed the latest available version). You should receive a message similar to what is shown below. If you selected “Add Python 3.7 to PATH”, you can verify the installation from any command prompt window.

Installing PIP
If you didn’t install PIP using the default settings in the installer, you’d want to install this program to make application and module management easier. You can verify PIP installation by opening a command prompt and enteringpip -V
You’ll see the output similar to the following:

NOTE: Python software installation is considered Beyond Scope Support. This means it is not covered under our managed support, but we will do what we reasonably can to assist. It may take longer for us to assist as the SLA for Beyond Scope Support is different than our managed services. Find out more in our article What Is Beyond Scope Support?
