Windows Notes

In windows you may need to add the Python paths to your Path. To do this run the windows search for environment. Click on the Edit the system environment variables option. You’ll need to run this as an adminstrative user. This should bring up the System Properties dialog. Click on the Environment Variables button near the bottom.

You’ll want to edit the Path variable. Using Python version 3.8 as an example, you’ll need to make sure that the following are in the Path:

• C:\Program Files\Python38

• C:\Program Files\Python38\Scripts
