I installed Python 3.7.0 with Anaconda 5.3.0. I could run the python prompt directly from Windows' command prompt by typing "python" or "python3" when I installed it by itself but installed this way, I can only access it from Anaconda command prompt which also I cannot run directly from Windows' cmd. How can I access python and/or anaconda(if possible) directly from cmd?

  • You need to update your system path to be able to find the python binaries, see [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows). – import random Oct 07 '18 at 22:41

You should check where is your Anaconda path. In Windows 10, you can commonly find it in:

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs\<name_of_env>\python.exe

You can simply call this from cmd or add it to your user/system variables so it's easier to access. For doing this in Windows 10: Press Win+X, then Y, then search for Environment variables and click the option that says Edit environment variables for your account. Then, set variable PYTHONPATH to your Anaconda environment. Another way to do this:

set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\<path_to_your_env>
