For people who get a list of what i think is directories after clicking on "path", just ´click new and insert the directory to python in there and it'll have the same effect. Did it with python 3.7 and this finally worked! I'm glad this was on the front of the google search thing. LIKE
Yes, you are right. If just add PYTHON_HOME in path, it will not work. So I follow the 1st step and add the path of the whole DIR in system Variable with new button.
@@MattieCooper10000 bro if you got problem like python is not recognized as internal or external command then just follow the video and RESTART THE COMMAND LINE!! because without restarting cmd, you will not get the saved settings to load
@@rickandelon9374 Thanks for your response. I've done all of that and restarted my computer. Something is wrong with the Path; it does not open the way it does in every video on the subject.
Worked. Thank you. Another way to access the system configurations is: open the command prompt and type "sysdm.cpl". The same system configuration will pop on a window.
Thank you so much for making this video. I was going crazy because I couldn't get python to work on my laptop. This solves my issue, I can't believe it was so simple!
Another method: If you already have python downloaded, then redownload the same python. Then press modify. In modify there will be two sections. In one of those, you can add python straight to the environment variables. You can also add other nice features. Cheers!
I have done the modify but the same message keeps popping home that it isn't recognized. :( I have also done everything in the video. Still isn't working.
I was in a whole other world of messed up.... years ago I apparently made a python folder on my desktop and installed it directly into there. So when I started reinstalling python today in the proper location on my computer, the installation worked, but when I'd go to type "pip --version" it wouldn't give me an error, and it wouldn't execute the command either. It would just enter down again, and display my gitbash current directory with a new clean line under it (hope that makes sense). Thanks for your tutorial! I had to figure out some extra crap on my own to clean up my mess, but basically my solution was, find the extra paths that were auto created pointing to my desktop folder with python installed... delete the extra path... add the new path... AND STILL "pip --version" behaved the same way as described above! My ultimate final solution was to completely delete the extra python folder from my desktop. After that "pip --version" finally worked! Couldn't have gotten to that final solution without the help getting me to the new path variables before! Thanks a million! (p.s. using Windows 11)
Guys I fixed the issue of running python on my command line program lool finally. Basically it looks like I am able to run python on Windows powershell only as admin most of the time plus one thing no one told me is that when you specified to Windows where python is on my computer via the python directory & the scripts folder (I separated those 2 addresses by a semi colon in that python path user variable I created & on the system path variable I added the variable name like this %PYTHON_HOME% just like the tutorial says), on a windows 10 computer, which I use, you need to type "py" instead of "python" to load up the python shell. Type for example, "py --version" instead of "python --version" to print out on the terminal window the python version you have on your PC. Lol this is dumb Microsoft changed that for windows 10 PCs but hey it's works now for me & it's something I need to get used to from now on. Hope what I said was helpful to guys.
oh yeah by the way it looks like typing "py" on the command line program works well with windows 8 PCs too. I also saw online if you got python version 3.6 or later this works too.
when i click "edit" on the second "path", it opens a big window where it shows differents enviorements. Which one should i choose. They are this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath %SystemRoot%\system32 %SystemRoot% %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OpenSSH\ WHICH ONE SHOULD I EDIT?
Hi, just add it, the latest cell on the bottom should be editable: copy your link there. I guess this video got a little older and more thank one path can be provided. Hope it helps.
I would like to say thank you for this video, it helps me a lot . It is short and easy to understand. I hope you would make more vids in the future. God bless you
If you're still having trouble, make sure that you're copying the actual python program, instead of a shortcut. To find the actual program location, right click the shortcut > Open file location. I was still having trouble until I noticed this.
I get a different screen for part of the video, i think win 10 update must have changed the screen! But I figured it out using the help of this video thanks!
@@henryzhang3097 had the same problem its a win 10 setting. Type "Manage App Execution Aliases" into the search bar and unselect the aliases in the setting window.
i just dont understand why nothing will work for me Edit: i figured out how to make it work. If youre still having trouble after this simply combine this method and the other method of windows 7 and itll work
ruclips.net/video/dU_ca27EGT8/видео.html Yep. combined what I had for these two videos to get it to work. Instead of using %PYTHON_HOME% in the edit path section. add the file location C:\...... thanks guys
I have installed two Python packages in my PC, one is 32 and another is 64 bit, I was trying to set path for my 32 bit Python, I changed the path in my PC's HP Variables, instead of System variables, and that worked, I added the new path in System variables also as u said and edited the Path variable also, by the way Thanks anyways :)
Super helpful! Here's a problem I ran into and how I resolved it. When I opened the file explorer, the side bar (with quick access, this pc, etc.) was missing. So, I selected the View tab, then the Navigation pane, then unchecked and re-checked the "navigation pane" option.
When I want to edit path, a bunch a window with a bunch of files opens up. The files are: %SystemRoot%\system32, %SystemRoot%, %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem, %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\, %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OpenSSH\, C:\Program Files odejs\ Which do I edit??
If you are wondering Why A big screen coming after clicking to the second path then simply add NEW and paste %PYTHON_HOME% in that then click Ok view it again to make sure a new cell added to it called %PYTHON_HOME%. and now very important simply go back by SAVING all the changes and dont open cmd before saving that after all that open cmd and type Python.....GOOD TO GO!.
Worked . But, just wanted to clarify one thing, I followed every step as you said in the vid, and when you came to the cmd prompt and typed python the program version came right after your typing the word "python". Whereas, in my case when I came to this step, and typed python and pressed enter , all of a sudden Microsoft store popped up asking me to install Python 3.8 ( Developer tools) I have already installed Python from python.org. the only difference I observed was the path where I have installed python , it was under c:/ directly and not under users/../ app data/local/programs. I changed the path first and edited the environment variable as you did, and the system didn't cry showing errors, but I didn't understand why did Microsoft store pop up this Python 3.8 (Developer Tools) window when Python was already installed. It was a saviour though, it did bring the python prompt on my PC as was in yours. But, I truly didn't understand what happened?? A bit explanation would help because I am from a different Science background. Thanks for a very engaging video .

A easy way to work with system enviorment on windows is just using python-dotenv then you can use .env file and you are up and running and don't need to remeber to delete system env after you finished
