Installing Python

Some of the tools we use require python to be on the environment PATH variable.

Currently we are using version 2.7.12.

Download the installer from python.org and run.

Important

On the Customize Python page be sure and select “Add python.exe to Path”

Confirm python is installed by running python at the console.
