-1. In the root repository directory, create a python virtual environment:  
+1. Make sure you're using the correct Python version:
+   `python3 --version` (As described above)
+   -   If the output matches `Python 3.12.x` where the x is any number representing a patch update (Does not matter), then continue to step 2 and ignore the info below about pyenv, you won't need to install it either.
+   -   Otherwise, you probably want to use pyenv so you don't have to downgrade or upgrade your Python installation before continuing to step 2:
+      1. Follow the install instructions for your system on [the pyenv Github repository](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/).
+      2. Install the appropriate Python version with pyenv by running `pyenv install 3.12` (This will **not** mess with your existing Python install in any way).
+      3. Go into the root of this repository with a terminal, and run `pyenv local 3.12` to tell pyenv that Python 3.12 should be used in this folder (This will **not** mess with your existing Python install either, it only applies to this folder).
+      - You can also do `pyenv shell 3.12` or `pyenv global 3.12` instead to set the Python version for the current terminal session or the entire system respectively, but `local` is recommended.
+
+2. In the root repository directory, create a python virtual environment:  
    `python3 -m venv .venv`
-2. Activate your environment:
+3. Activate your environment:
 
 -   Windows w/Powershell: `.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`
 -   Windows w/Command Prompt: `.venv\Scripts\activate.bat`
 -   Linux/macOS: `source .venv/bin/activate`
+       If you use an alternative shell like fish or csh, you may wish to switch to the default shell (Usually bash) for this project, or alternatively, you can see the other activation scripts left by Python such as:
+       - Fish: `source .venv/bin/activate.fish`
+       - CSH: `source .venv/bin/activate.csh`

 -   `pip install -r requirements.txt`
 -   If developing (includes Ruff and Mypy): `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`
