Installing Python and dependencies
54+
----------------------------------
55+
56+
Installing Python
57+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
58+
59+
1. Go to the `Python Download Page <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_ and download a version of Python 3
60+
2. Follow the installation setup (if you're on Windows, check "add python to PATH" in the setup script)
61+
3. Python is now installed on your system
62+
63+
Installing dependencies
64+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
65+
66+
Choose a version of discord.py, there are currently 2 major versions, rewrite (v1.0) and async (v0.16.x).
67+
68+
* Rewrite is a newly developed version of discord.py, it's fully usable but it's still in active development
69+
* Async is the stable version of discord.py
70+
* If you are uncertain about which version to choose, rewrite has more functionalities than async
71+
72+
Rewrite and async is **not** compatible.
73+
74+
After you chose the version you want to use, go to the directory in this GitHub repo with the version name.
75+
The rest of the dependencies installation tutorial will be in the README.rtf of that directory.
