Step 4: Verify Python Installation
If you plan to use Python scripts within the Aqueduct application, ensure that Python is installed on your system and the Python executable is added to the system's PATH environment variable. This step is necessary to run Python scripts seamlessly within the Aqueduct application.
Windows
- If Python is not already installed, download and install Python from the official Python website (https://www.python.org). During the installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH" to automatically set the Python executable in the system's PATH.
Mac
- Python is usually preinstalled on macOS. Open a terminal window and enter the command
python3 --version
to check if Python is installed and accessible. If not, download and install Python from the official Python website (https://www.python.org).
Linux
- Python is typically available by default on most Linux distributions. Open a terminal window and enter the command
python3 --version
to check if Python is installed and accessible. If not, use your distribution's package manager to install Python.
