Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

"Not defined"? That sounds closer to a Python error.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

#

#

i checked like 15 sites

#

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

midnight bay did u type python3

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

nvm

#

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

midnight bay In cmd

i typed python3 and it opened microsoft store

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

how did u install it

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

python.org - 3.12.2 - installer - opened terminal to check

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

it's gotta be somewhere on one of ur drives

#

idk what component exactly but you have to add it to path before u can use it in command line

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

worthy zephyr python.org - 3.12.2 - installer - opened terminal to check

Rerun the installer, use the "modify" option, and make sure to select the option "Add executables to environment variables".

#

Or whatever it says. There will be an option like that. Then close and reopen the terminal.

#

And try again.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

any of these

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

#

oh i see

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

Fourth option.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

anything else except for this?

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

You need to have the executables on the PATH for the terminal to find them.

And k light as well recompile too.

#

Might as well*

#

Precompile*

#

Stupid SwiftKey

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

ocean kindle Precompile*

what

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

Fifth option

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

not necessary tho all u need is environment variables

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

Ya, for your current problem, you just need option four.

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

and there u go its in appdata if u need to add it manually

#

I think for me the installer didnt work to add it to path and caused a lot of headache but see if it works

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

And make sure you restart the terminal after. The terminal you have open has the old, unupdated variables.

fax

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

There you go.

#

>>> means you're in a Python REPL.

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

does ur pip work

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

ocean kindle `>>>` means you're in a Python REPL.

it was even before the thing u said

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

midnight bay does ur pip work

no

midnight bay Feb 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

u probably have to manually install i had the same problem

#

theres lots of youtube videos about it

#

pretty easy

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

You have Python installed. You need to run pip in the cmd shell, not the Python shell.

#

Type quit() then run pip.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

ocean kindle Type `quit()` then run `pip`.

in the command shell?

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

worthy zephyr it was even before the thing u said

You seeing >>> means you have Python installed. If it's been like that since you first asked the question, you've had Python installed this entire time.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

this thing?

#

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

I don't speak Russian/Ukrainian, but that looks right.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

it works

ocean kindle Feb 19, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

There you go. Make sure you understand what shell you're in, since that determines what you can run.

#

>>> means Python.

worthy zephyr Feb 19, 2024, 5:42 PM

#
