I last installed an updated version of python more than a year back. I am
trying to download (from https://www.python.org/downloads/ ) and install
Python 3.10.6 for Windows - but I keep running into problems.
1. I installed Python 3.10.6 in the default directory
C:\Users\xxxxx.xxxxx\AppData\local\programs\Python\Python310
After the installation, there was no shortcut on my desktop. I thought I
would just go to Python310 and create a shortcut. But I am unable to find
AppData.
In the File Explorer window, select the View tab and turn on the Hidden
Items checkbox. The AppData folder should then become visible.
Alternatively, enter "%appdata%" in the path bar, and that should take
you to a subfolder of the AppData folder. You can then navigate from there.
2. I then decided to install Python3.10.6 in a customized directory
C:\program files\Python\Python310
I am being asked to verify access to this directly. I went to properties,
made what I thought were the relevant changes. But I keep getting asked to
verify access.
My R and RStudio are installed in C:\program files.
How should I proceed?
