anaconda - path environment variable in windows
it turns out I was mistaken.
Solution is: in anaconda (as well as in other implementations), set the path environment variable to the directory where 'python.exe' is installed.
As a default, the python.exe file in anaconda is in:
c:\.....\anacondaafter you do that, obviously, the python command works, in my case, yielding the following.
pythonPython 3.4.3 |Anaconda 2.2.0. (64|bit)|(default, Nov 7 2015), etc, etc
Instead of giving the path following way:
C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exeDo this:
C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\
The default location for python.exe should be here: c:\users\xxx\anaconda3One solution to find where it is, is to open the Anaconda Prompt then execute:
> where pythonThis will return the absolute path of locations of python eg:
(base) C:\>where pythonC:\Users\Chad\Anaconda3\python.exeC:\ProgramData\Miniconda2\python.exeC:\dev\Python27\python.exeC:\dev\Python34\python.exe
