To install Java on your machine, follow the following instructions:
1. Python comes pre-installed with Mac and Linux machines
2. For Windows, download the latest version of Python for windows from http://python.org/downloads/
- An executable Installer file is downloaded
3. Run the Installer by clicking on it.
4. In the window that opens up, make sure that you enable the checkbox ‘Add Python to PATH’
5. Click on ‘Install Now’
6. After successful installation, ensure that the option - ‘Disable path length limit’ - is chosen
7. Python now gets installed in the folder - C:Users{username}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32
- The last part of the folder structure (I.e. Python38-32) reflects the version of python you have installed. In the above case it is python 3.8
8. Close the PowerShell session and start an :ref:`elevated-powershell`

python --version
10. Hit the 'Enter' key. If the python version number is displayed then it means that python has been installed correctly on your system
