If the command doesn' produce similar output it means that Python is not installed, or it is installed but the python.exe file' location is not mentioned in PATH

Select the version and find the file you need in the table.

The recommended version is Windows installer (64-bit)

You can start the installation by double-clicking on the .exe file.

I recommend adding python.exe to the PATH variable
