Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
There is a lot more wrong with the Windows part:
"On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:\Python36," is no longer true. All-users install is, by default, in Program Files. Current-user install is, by default, buried somewhere forgettable in the hidden /users/USER/appdata dir.
" you can type the following command into the command prompt in a DOS box:" It has been a long time since Command Prompt was widely called a 'DOS box'.
set path=%path%
The is not permanent, at least for non-admin user. One can add the install dir, whatever it is, to path during installation. Or one can use 'py -3.6'
