Installation
Windows
Install Python 3.7 or newer if you haven't already. The latest stable 64-bit version from the official website is strongly recommended over the Microsoft Store.
In case you have issues installing or running the app as a Python package later on, download the portable version from the latest release. Though this is not recommended, as it is larger and slower.
