FFGo: Difference between revisions

         If you are not comfortable with the [[Command_line|command line]] (“Command Prompt”), it is suggested you choose <i>Add python.exe to Path</i> (or <i>Add Python X.Y to PATH</i>: the precise wording depends on the Python version). This way, you will be able to run the <tt>pip</tt> and <tt>ffgo</tt> programs directly at the Command Prompt in the simplest possible way (this mainly matters for <tt>pip</tt>, because for <tt>ffgo</tt>, you can easily create a shortcut on the Desktop, for instance).

             In such a case, assuming you didn't disable the [https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#launcher Python Launcher for Windows] in the Python installer, you'll have to type commands such as:

           <pre>py -3.5 -m pip install ...</pre>

             instead of:

             Such a command is similar to <code>pip install ...</code>, but makes sure that <tt>pip</tt> is run by Python 3.5, in case there are several Python installations on your Windows system.

 

             Another way would be to call the desired <tt>pip</tt> executable by specifying its full path, like this:

           <pre>C:\PythonXY\Scripts\pip install ...</pre>

             (where <i>XY</i> would be <tt>35</tt> for a Python 3.5 installation, for instance)<br />

             This method requires knowing where the Python installation you are interested in is installed (<tt>C:\PythonXY</tt> in this example), which seems to depend on the Windows version. Therefore, the <code>py -X.Y -m pip ...</code> method, using the [https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#launcher Python Launcher for Windows], will be preferred here.
