###################### Quicker, smaller setup ###################### This setup is quicker than the setup in :doc:`setup_beforehand`, and uses a lot less disk space, but it is more involved. This is the setup for Windows. Use this page for setup if you are on a slow laptop, a laptop without much disk space, or you are installing on a borrowed laptop where you need to get going quickly. * Open your web browser, and go to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-366 * Download the `Windows x86 executable installer `_. * Run the installer.

Here's a screenshot of the correct options: .. image:: images/python36_install_screen.png When the options are right, click on "Install Now" to continue the installation. Click "Close" when the installation is done. * Click on the Windows start icon and type "powershell", press Return. The Windows Powershell terminal application will open. * At the Powershell prompt, type the following:: pip install pandas matplotlib jupyter and press return. Wait while the packages install, it will be about 5 minutes, on a slow machine. * At the Powershell prompt, type:: jupyter notebook to open the Jupyter notebook in your browser. You may be asked which browser you would like to use for the Jupyter App. I suggest Google Chrome or Firefox, if you have it. * Whenever you want to open the Jupyter notebook, open Powershell, and type ``jupyter notebook`` as above.
