Frequently asked questions
Why should I tick Add Python to PATH during installation?
It lets you run python from Command Prompt or a terminal in any folder. Without it, you must type the full installation path every time.
How do I check that Python installed correctly?
Open Command Prompt and type python –version. If it prints a version number like Python 3.10.4, your installation and PATH setting are working.
Which packages do I need for Python data analysis?
Start with pandas for data handling, NumPy for computation, Matplotlib or seaborn for charts, and Jupyter notebooks for writing and sharing analysis code.
