Installing pyenv in Windows

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/master/pyenv-win/install-pyenv-win.ps1" -OutFile "./install-pyenv-win.ps1"; &"./install-pyenv-win.ps1"

Add <HOME_DIR>\.pyenv\pyenv-win\bin to PATH

1. pyenv --version to check if the installation was successful.
2. Run pyenv install -l to check a list of Python versions supported by pyenv-win
3. Run pyenv install <version> to install the supported version
4. Run pyenv global <version> to set a Python version as the global version

5. Check which Python version you are using and its path

   > pyenv version
   <version> (set by \path\to\.pyenv\pyenv-win\.python-version)
   

6. Check that Python is working

   > python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
   \path\to\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\<version>\python.exe
