Installing Python

This documentation assumes an installation path of c:\Python36.

When installing Python:

Choose 'Customize Installation'
On 'Optional Features':

Check 'pip'.

Uncheck 'Documentation', 'tcl/tk and IDLE', 'Python test suite', 'py launcher', and 'for all users (requires elevation)'.
On 'Advanced Options':

Create the virtual environment. From the working directory of our project (e.g., c:/devel/web-cse440-sp19):

c:\Python36/python.exe -m venv env36

This will create a directory for the virtual environment (e.g., c:/devel/web-cse440-sp19/env36/).

Next activate that virtual environment and install our Python dependencies:

env36/Scripts/activate.bat
pip install -r requirements3.txt

The default installation options are appropriate.
