Installing and configuring Python for WPS Analytics on Windows

To run Python programs in WPS Analytics you require a Python interpreter and at least the pandas package. Neither the Python interpreter nor pandas package are distributed with WPS Analytics.

To install the Python Interpreter:

   WPS Analytics supports Python version 3.6 or later. Make sure you select the correct interpreter version to match your 32-bit or 64-bit WPS Analytics installation.
2. On the same device as WPS Analytics is installed, run the Python installer.
3. Once the Interpreter is installed, set the PYTHONHOME environment variable:
   • In the Windows Control Panel/System and Security, select System and click Advanced System Settings.
   • In the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
   • In System variables, click New.
   • In Variable Name, enter PYTHONHOME.
   • In Variable value, enter the path to the folder containing the Python library is located, for example C:\Program Files\python3.
   • Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog boxes by clicking OK each time.
4. If not installed, add the pandas package to the Python installation.
   • To check if the pandas package is installed, at the command prompt type the following command:
     

     pip list

   • If the pandas package is not installed, enter the following command:

     pip install pandas
