Install Python, Miniconda, and create an environment env001 using PowerShell.

Due to PowerShell's execution policy, due to a security feature in Windows, which prevents scripts from running, and don t allow Conda to function properly, we need follow these steps:

---

Step 0: Allow Script Execution

Run this command in PowerShell to change the execution policy:

powershellCopy codeSet-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

• Explanation:

  • CurrentUser: Only applies the policy for your user account.

  • RemoteSigned: Allows locally-created scripts to run without a digital signature.Here’s a concise step-by-step guide to install Python, Miniconda, and create an environment env001 using PowerShell:

Restart shell.

Step 1: Install Python via shell or via GUI.

Restart shell.

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\user001\Downloads\python\python-3.13.0-amd64.exe" -ArgumentList "/quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1" -Wait

Step 2: Verify Python Installation.

python --version

Step 3: Install Miniconda via shell or via GUI.

Restart shell.

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\user001\Downloads\python\Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe" -ArgumentList "/InstallationType=JustMe /AddToPath=1 /S /D=C:\Miniconda3" -Wait

Step 4: Initialize Conda in PowerShell.

Restart shell.

& "C:\Miniconda3\Scripts\conda.exe" init powershell

Restart your PowerShell terminal for the changes to take effect.

Step 5: Verify Conda Installation

conda --version

Step 6: Create Environment env001

conda create -n env001 python=3.13 -y

Step 7: Activate the Environment

conda activate env001

You are now ready to use Python 3.13 in your env001 Conda environment!
