I am having lots of trouble getting python 2.7.2 to install on my system correctly. I have tried to download the activestate version http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads and it seems to be installed correctly but when I try to run python from my terminal I keep getting this message. ‘python’ not recognized as internalexternal command, operable program or batch file.
Anyone know how to fix this? I google it and only get the answer for windows XP.
Thanks..
You need to make sure that the Python installation directory is in your
PATHenvironment variable. I thought that the ActiveState installer did that for you, but in any case, that seems to be the problem here.You can set the
PATHenviroment variable in:View Advanced System Settings -> Enviroment Variables. Just add python folder at the end of the list (separated with semicolon).
