Ver 3.11 installed but not in path

[omar]

I installed node.js. This asked me to install chocolaty (I think that's what it's called). This in turn decided to install Python 3.11.

I looked in the path settings, Python 3.11 isn't there.
Should I manually add and replace 3.10?

3.10 seems to be installed here: C:\Users\omar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python.
But 3.11 doesn't seem to be installed there.

Confused.

Thanks.

You could have choosen to do minimal(Node install) then just Node and Npm would be installed.
Can add it to Path to would eg be someting like C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python311
Or just install python 3.11 from python.org if need it.
I install simple like Path eg C:\pyhon\310 or C:\pyhon\311.

If you just figure where stuff install is and and how Os Path works,
then is no problems to have many Python versions installed(i have a lot💥)
Some from Python.org,not inculde Anaconda/Miniconda,PyPy ect.

@snippsat Thanks for the reply.

Hmm... I'll add to the path if needed.

I just googled how to find the current version...
I typed py --version
It says: Python 3.11.0

So... now wondering how it got the latest version?
I haven't added to the path yet

How bizaare!

py will not use Os Path,so it wil findl your lastet version.
Example i have python 3.10 set in Path when so type python it will use Os Path.
py will find the lastet version on Os,not using Path.
