CMD python is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Question

I tried to run my code by typing 'python name.py' in the CMD but it says: 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You haven't installed python correctly then. You'll need to add the interpreter to your path. — Carcigenicate, Nov 05 '19 at 17:54

You can reinstall python on your machine and check add to path.

Or see how to add to your path according to another answer that already exists here in the forum:
