How to install Python for Windows / Linux.
Windows
- Head to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download your desired installer. We'll be using 3.9.2, as that's what RustMagic is built around.
- It's recommended that you install using the standard and recommended options. A red asterisk denotes something necessary for a usable installation.

- Should you decide to customise your install a bit and stray from the recommended install, the following options are required:

- If you are prompted to disable Path length limit, it is recommended you do so. Please google if you wish to make a more informed decision, and bare in mind it is entirely optional.
- You've successfully installed. 'Grats.
Linux (Ubuntu)
- Download the install.sh file from this repository.
- Edit the file, and replace 3.9.2 with whichever version you want installing.
- Run it with
sudo bash install.sh
.
- It will install Python using
altinstall
- it will install itself as pythonMAJOR.minor
, in the case of 3.9.2, python3.9
. This is the command you will use to access the Python binary.
- Need to install pip? RTFM
Linux (Other)
- Visit the Ubuntu Install File
- Read through it, and convert any commands that aren't relevant to your OS to ones that are. When it comes to installing dependencies, it may require a bit more thought & research.
- Run your converted file and hope it works. If not, find out why, and what you can do differently.
- Alternatively, there's no doubt dozens of tutorials available on the internet tailored to your install already.
