## Prerequisites
- **Python 3.8+** (3.11 or 3.12 recommended): Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/). Using Python 3.13 is currently discouraged because some dependencies do not ship wheels for it yet, which can cause build failures on Windows unless you install the Visual C++ Build Tools.

You should also install the [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/) with the **C++ build tools** workload so dependencies compile correctly.
The Windows installer will attempt to install Git automatically if it is not already available. It also tries to
install Python 3 using `winget`, `choco`, or `scoop` when Python is missing and recognizes the `py` launcher if `python`
isn't on your PATH. If these tools are unavailable you'll see a link to download Python directly from
