Install Python with cmd or powershell

Question

My question is if you can install python with powershell, cmd, vbs or any other language built into Windows already? If this was already asked please redirect me to the answ

Answer 1

You could download the setup you want to install and then install it automatically without using the setup's UI:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/python-3.7.0.exe" -OutFile "c:/temp/python-3.7.0.exe"

c:/temp/python-3.7.0.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=0 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0

I don't think it will work without admin privileges though, I tried using InstallAllUsers=0 to install it only for the current user but it is still asking for elevation.

There are some options you can use when installing it this way, here is the doc: https://docs.python.org/3.6/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui
