- Evennia requires [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 3.9, 3.10 or 3.11 (recommended). Any OS that supports Python should work.

Click the `Individual Components` tab at the top, then search and checkbox the latest `Windows 10 SDK` (also for older/newer Windows versions). Then click `Install`.
