Follow this guide to use Python of a different version from what is bundled in Nintex RPA.

 

Skip Step 1 if you already have Python installed

 

Step 1. Install Python 
Option 1:  Install using an exe installer of your prefered version - https://www.python.org/downloads/windows

Option 2: Install using Chocolatey

  • First, follow the instructions here to install Chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/install
  • Then, to install Python, open Powershell in Administrator mode and run choco install python -y

 

Step 2: Replace the bundled Python
For Studio.
- Go to C:\Program Files\Nintex RPA Studio (or the location where Studio installed). Backup and remove Python folder.
- Go to the location where your copy of Python is instaled, e.g  C:\Python314. Copy the Python folder into Studio and rename to Python.

For Robot
- Refer to the steps for Studio above. Robot may be installed at C:\Program Files\Nintex RPA Robot 

 

You may verify the change by running the Run Script AC and print the Python version.

If you prefer to use the locally installed Python alongside the Python bundled with Nintex RPA, follow this guide.
