Note that the latest 3.10 release is 3.10.14, not 3.10.11.

For Ubuntu users, this is probably not the appropriate source for Python - should probably use the package from apt or snap.

This also doesn't help people who already have anaconda or miniconda installed.

Sorry, the link was a result of a miscommunication and wasn't actually needed. This issue was mostly because a student had problems with setting up PyHa as a result of downloading the 32-bit installation of Python, and we wanted to clarify to avoid similar problems in the future.

IMO this is an isolated problem specific to that student... This suggests an underlying problem with that student's understanding of how computers work, not with PyHa documentation.

Agreed. It might be worthwhile to point students to a Python installation guide instead: https://realpython.com/installing-python/
