===================================================================================================================================
**boto3** library for Python serves for listing and downloading items from specified bucket or repository. In this article, you will install it in a Windows system.
Step 1 Ensure That Python3 is Preinstalled[🔗](#step-1-ensure-that-python3-is-preinstalled "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**On a Desktop Windows System**
To run **boto3**, you need to have Python preinstalled. If you are running Windows on a desktop computer, the first step of this article shows how to do it: [How to install connectVMClient GitBash for Windows on connectVM Cloud](../connectVMcli/How-to-install-connectVMClient-GitBash-or-Cygwin-for-Windows-on-connectVM-Cloud.html.md).
**On a Virtual Machine Running in connectVM Cloud Cloud**
Virtual machines created in the connectVM Cloud cloud will have Python3 already preinstalled. If you want to spawn your own Windows VM, two steps will be involved:
1. Log into your connectVM Cloud hosting account with access to the Horizon interface: <https://console.connectvm.com/>.
2. Use or create a new instance in the cloud. See article: [Connecting to a Windows VM via RDP through a Linux bastion host port forwarding on connectVM Cloud](../windows/Connecting-to-a-Windows-VM-via-RDP-through-a-Linux-bastion-host-port-forwarding-on-connectVM-Cloud.html.md).
