Install Renardo Python library

Getting python to work

Windows

You need to install Python. Use the official one from https://python.org (please don’t use anaconda or parallel environments if you don’t understand their consequences).

Next, you need to add Python to your System variables in Windows:

  1. Check your program folders in order to find Python (e.g. C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python)
  2. Start typing environment in the search bar of Windows main menu. You should see Edit the system environment variables - Control panel popping up.
  3. Click on it! It will open the System Properties window, and find Environment variables on the bottom.
