Installing Thonny on existing set up

I currently program my Pi using IDLE (python 3.4.2)
In order to install Thonny do I need to start again with a new version of Raspbian, or is it possible to just load the Thonny element?

Thank you both very much.
I used the link from the blog and Thonny is now installed.
(easy when you know how!)

Nice little write up here too
It brings Python 3.6 with it, so we're not left back in 3.4.
Not that I actually know what we gain from that

I upgraded to latest version and installed THONNY, however the Shell seems to be running version 3.4.2 rather than the 3.6 advertised. Indeed the screenshot in
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/a-rasp ... ing-tools/ also shows 3.4.2. Anyone know how do I get Thonny to run python 3.6?

run it on anything but the Pi.
The advertised python is wrong for this customised Pi version. It is 3.4
