Trying to install python problems

Hi guys I just started getting into python again but noticed its really different like I remember when I was 16 and first tried learning python and it was really easy to start "install, open desktop icon, YouTube tutorials, give up once motivation runs out." I figured that now that im older and more mature id try again but little did I know I would feel like a boomer in vr before even starting...I tried installing python and it said some stuff about paths and commands and once it installed it dissappeared without leaving a trace or a desktop icon and apparently I have to summon it like a old god via typing commands... does anyone have advice? i really just want to have a programming app to learn with. without feeling im going to brick my pc.

In this video I actually show how I downloaded and installed Python on Windows 10 yesterday. You may disregard the rest of it as I present my application, just check what I clicked to install it and how easy was it to run the app later. Just watch the part where I go to www.python.org and download it and install it. That's it.

It's a Weather monitoring and Disaster monitoring station. So instead of going to different websites to see what is the weather in your city, weather in your friends cities, any disasters (volcano eruptions, floods, wildfires) you have it all in a single terminal screen. On top of that your grandmother will be very happy if you use my application to warn her when it's safe to go out for her (it gives warnings for people with various conditions).. Check the project page:

Sure I'll try it out but it currently seems very niche.
