How to add a new version of Python?

Need help to replace / add python version

Python 3.10 is included with Laragon 6.

• How to update? #405
• How to set up Laragon on a new Windows computer (part 1) - Install Laragon

With previous versions, it had to be added using Laragon > Tools > Quick add > python-3.6

Manual Install

To manually install a new version see my blog How to update the PHP version in Laragon, as the process is similar.

• Download the Windows embeddable package from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
• Unzip the package
• Copy the folder to laragon\bin\python

Automated Install

It's also possible to automate the process by adding the following to laragon\usr\packages.conf (Laragon menu > Tools > Quick Add > configuration)

# Python
python-3.11=https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.2/python-3.11.2-embed-amd64.zip

Python 3.11 can then be automatically downloaded and installed using the Laragon menu > Tools > Quick Add > python-3.11.

Switch version

Laragon Menu > Python > Version > python-3.11-embedded-amd64

(If you do not like the switch version name rename the folder c:\laragon\bin\python\python-3.11-embedded-amd64 to python-3.11)

Open the Terminal and the selected version (Python 3.11) is available.

@Pen-y-Fan Thanks for the instructions. I followed the automated approach and installed Python 3.12

Python

python-3.12=https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.3/python-3.12.3-amd64.exe

However, after installing and switching the version to 3.12, the version is still showing as 3.10

PS C:\laragon> python --version Python 3.10.6

Is there anything I'm missing?

Team, - Anyone assist with the above request please @Pen-y-Fan @davidreyg @reinierbutot

I ended up using the full installation of Python, which included PIP etc. I installed each version in the laragon folder path:

• C:\laragon\bin\python\python-3.11
• C:\laragon\bin\python\python-3.12

Laragon will then allow the versions to be switched.

[Pen-y-Fan]

When installing Python select custom install and choose Customize install location by clicking Browse and navigate to your laragon directory > bin > python, make folder python-3.12 and select it:

You can now switch versions and Laragon will automatically update the path:

If you have any problems check the python.exe is in the correct directory:

C:\laragon\bin\python\python-3.12\python.exe --version
Python 3.12.3

If python.exe isn't in the correct directory, use the Windows add or remove programs to uninstall it and use the installer to install it again.

Edit: Changed app to add or remove programs

Perfect. Custom install solves the problem.

1. Enter the following link
   https://winpython.github.io/
2. Select the version and click on the repository where you want to download it, either github or sourceforge
   
3. Download the versions that have the word dot at the end, since these are the versions that do not contain any libraries
   
4. Unzip it in the directory of your choice, in this case D:\Downloads\python12
   
5. Open the folder you selected to unzip it
   
6. Enter the WPy64-31241 folder
   
7. Move or copy the python-3.12.4.amd64 folder to the folder where the python versions are located in laragon
   
8. Once the folder has been moved, you can select the new version of python in the laragon interface
