  • Why did you tag [tag:powershell]? What happens when you use the [tag:command-Prompt] (`cmd`)? – iRon Aug 15 '23 at 11:07

  • after installing python (assuming you did that) and checking the option to add it to your path, you need to start a new shell to get the updated environment. – JonSG Aug 15 '23 at 14:14

Add path of python (or python interpreter) in your environment variables, to run python on command line or shell.

This is because python.exe is not in your environment variables. Hence, PowerShell fails to locate your Python interpreter. You can address this problem by opening the configuration panel (type env in the Windows searchbar) then clicking, under Advanced System Settings, the Environment Variables... button. Then create a variable named python and assign the absolute path to your Python interpreter (the aforementioned python.exe) to it.
