Click on “Finish” to complete the installation.

Open a Windows command prompt and carry out the following steps.

Installing sympy

The installation may come with sympy already installed, but we want to make sure that we have at least 0.7.6, so we will install it using the command conda install sympy=0.7.6. This should update (if already installed) or install sympy to the 0.7.6 version.

Installing matplotlib-venn

To install matplotlib-venn, use the command pip install matplotlib-venn.

Your computer is now setup to run all the programs.

Starting Python shell

Open a windows command prompt and type idle to start the IDLE shell or python to start the Python 3 default shell.
