Uninstall Other Python Versions

If you have other versions of Python installed on your computer and you don't have a compelling reason to keep them around, we recommend uninstalling those versions of Python before continuing on with these instructions.

Download the Software

Download the following file to your Downloads folder: Python 3.11 Installer

Install the Python Interpreter

Double click on the Python installer to begin the Python installation process, and follow the following steps carefully:

  1. On the first page, check the box labeled "Add Python 3.11 to the PATH".
  2. Click "Install".
  3. Wait for the installation to finish and click "finish". Note that installing Python will also automatically install IDLE.

Install Additional Libraries

Next, we'll need to install several additional libraries and the 6.300 software. To do so, open a command prompt. (Open the start menu and search for cmd.) Then, at the command prompt, run the following. (Copy and paste it, or type it, and then hit Enter.)

pip install wheel

Then run the following command:

pip install https://sigproc.mit.edu/_static/fall24/software/PyAudio-0.2.11-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl https://sigproc.mit.edu/_static/fall24/software/lib6300-0.0.6.tar.gz
