====Installing Python====

Many of ARDIs tools are Python-based.

While Python is installed along-side ARDI, there's a good chance you'll be working on your personal computer rather than directly on the ARDI server.

If you'd like to follow along with these exercises or experiment on your own, you'll need to install Python 3.10 or higher. 

We generally avoid using the absolute latest major Python version, since many of our users are Windows-based and there's often a bit of a delay between new Python versions being released and the full set of libraries being available for the Windows platform.

If installing from Windows, we usually suggest using the official installer rather than installing via Visual Studio, as VS tends to hide your Python installation in exotic locations rather than in easy-to-find folders.

You'll also need to use the Python Package Manager to install some [[python_modules|additional modules]].
