Installing Python is beyond the scope of this documentation.
However, it is recommended to use a Python version manager, such as {term}uv or {term}pyenv, that allows you to install multiple versions of Python on your development environment without destroying your system's Python.
Do not create or activate a Python virtual environment at this time.
The instructions below will create one.
Plone 6.2 requires Python version {{SUPPORTED_PYTHON_VERSIONS_PLONE62}}.
