I want to set up Python SimpleHTTPServer on windows XP. I have Python installed on my computer. I am executing the following command: 

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888

But I am getting the error:

python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

  • You may need to add Python to your Windows PATH environment variable. Does it work if you run the same command from the directory that contains python.exe? – 101 May 30 '16 at 12:21
