Answer 1

This PC -> Right click -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment variables -> Under "User variables for XXX", click "Path", and click "Edit" -> Click "New" -> Type:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Python-3.6.5_2

(or whatever your python directory is called.)

Now restart your terminal and the python command should work. If you want the "pip" command to work too, add a new path with the same directory but with Scripts/ at the end :

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Python-3.6.5_2\Scripts

If you want to know how is your Python directory called, press at the same time :

WINDOWS KEY and R KEY

it should open a window, and type :

%appdata%

and now you can find your python directory.

For instance, I'm using anaconda, and the path I use is :

C:\Users\FP5721\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3
