   Windows

   py --version
   

   Unix/macOS

   python3 --version
   

   You should get the response like Python <version number>. If you do not have Python, or have an unsupported version, install the latest 3.x version from python.org.

2. Check that the package installer for Python (pip) is available:

   Windows

   py -m pip --version
   

   Unix/macOS

   python3 -m pip --version
