2828### Vanilla 64-bit Python
2929
30- One way to get 64-bit support is with a vanilla 64-bit Python. It is easy,
31- but it is CLI only: there is no GUI. It is experimental.
32-
33- 1 . Download and install Python 3.13.12 64-bit. Choose to install for all users. Choose the path ` c:\python313 ` (instead of under Program Files).
34- 2 . Download BleachBit source from the main repository.
35- 3 . Unpack the BleachBit source, like to ` c:\projects\bleachbit ` .
36- 4 . Change directory: ` cd /d c:\projects\bleachbit `
37- 5 . Create venv: ` c:\python313\python.exe -m venv c:\projects\bleachbit\venv `
38- 6 . Activate venv. If in cmd.exe, run: ` call c:\projects\bleachbit\venv\scripts\activate.bat `
39- 7 . Set up the venv: ` pip install -r windows\requirements.txt `
40- 8 . Run BleachBit CLI using ` python.exe bleachbit.py ` instead of ` bleachbit.exe ` .

33+ Do this setup once:
34+
35+ 1 . Download the latest [ Python Windows installer (64-bit)] ( https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ ) .
36+ 1 . Run the installer. Under ** Optional Features** , enable ** for all users** . (If you like, disable ** tcl/tk and IDLE** .)
37+ 1 . Click ** Next** .
38+ 1 . Customize the install location to ` c:\python313 ` (for version 3.13.x), and finish the Python installation.
39+ 1 . Download BleachBit source from the main repository ([ zip] ( https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/archive/refs/heads/master.zip ) ).
40+ 1 . Unpack the BleachBit source, like to ` c:\projects\bleachbit ` .
41+ 1 . Change directory: ` cd /d c:\projects\bleachbit `
42+ 1 . Create venv: ` c:\python313\python.exe -m venv c:\projects\bleachbit\venv `
43+ 1 . Activate venv. If in cmd.exe, run: ` call c:\projects\bleachbit\venv\scripts\activate.bat `
44+ 1 . Set up the venv: ` pip install -r windows\requirements.txt `
45+ 1 . Run BleachBit CLI using ` python.exe bleachbit.py ` instead of ` bleachbit.exe ` .
46+
47+ The next time, just activate the venv and run the application (via ` python.exe ` ).
