Kolibri forces you to install python version 3.4 but I already have the last one, is it fine if I uninstall the older python version that kolibri installed? Or will it mess with the program?
Hi @Mathias_Velicoff, I think itâs fine to uninstall the older Python you installed before. Just make sure that you reinstall the Kolibri again using the Windows installer. Can you also give us the details about the version of operating system youâre using so we can reproduce and fix it. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the answer. Iâm using windows 10, and Iâll try reinstalling kolibri after uninstalling python, but not sure if thatâll work since I already had the last python version before installing kolibri and there wasnât any option for skipping the python 3.4 installation and choosing a newer version
I have a log for the kolibri setup where I tried to search if that was possible but only got the âpython 3.4 is required to install kolibriâ message

Python 3.4+ is required to install Kolibri on Windows; do you wish to first install Python 3.4.3, before continuing with the installation of Kolibri?

Tried reinstalling, canât skip the âpython 3.4 is requiredâ message, tried uninstalling python 3.4 and opening kolibri since 3.8 is still on my computer, and it didnât let me open.
Sorry to here that, but the Kolibri Windows is still using the Python 3.4 you need to let the installer
to install itâs built in Python it has pre configured python path to install at your system. We havenât tested yet the higher new release of Python but I think on our next release we upgraded the built in Python to 3.6.
Maybe just for now you cannot use the python 3.8 in Windows. because thereâs an error when I tried to run it and I filed an issue on this link https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/issues/7004.
