You MUST place your Python program on your PATH.

Let’s do it!!

1. Search for python.exe using Windows search like figure below. Then, right-click the search result, and click Open file location.

   

2. Right click the address bar in the File Explorer, and click Copy address as text as figure below.

   

3. Click Windows search again, search for Control Panel, and open Control Panel.

   

4. Type environment in the search bar on the top right of Control Panel. Then, click Edit environment variables for your account.

   

5. Move your cursor to Path in the Environment Variables window. Then, click Edit… button.

   CAUTION

      You MUST choose Path in User variable (at the top).
   

   

6. Click New button and type the address that you copied from step 2. Click New button again, type the address again, and add Scripts\ at the end. Click OK when you are done with adding two paths.
