add Python and pip to the path

[azure eagle]

how ?

[coarse tulip]

Reinstall python and check “add to path” option

[balmy rune]

no need really

[balmy rune]

search up path on your windows whatever task bar click on it

[azure eagle]

i had this error message, then i reinstalled python

[balmy rune]

click environment tables

click path

[azure eagle]

and i still have it

[coarse tulip]

There’s another way, but it’s a tad more complicated on windows as he has to navigate multiple windows

Doing it through installer is best case scenario for a noobie . That’s just my opinion tho

[balmy rune]

Environment tables yes

now, search up python, click open file location, copy the file location, add it onto your path, restart your terminal

[azure eagle]

where do i search python ?

[balmy rune]

in your windows whatever search bar

i don’t know the names of every windows gui component apologies

[patent geode]

C:\Users\(Your logged in User)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python...

[azure eagle]

my python is in my downloads ?

[patent geode]

This is the default path iirc

No, thats the installer

[patent geode]

The place where it is actually installed will be here (likely)

Honestly, it will be easier to uninstall and install and making sure you check "add to path"

[azure eagle]

no python folder

[balmy rune]

you didn’t install it then

double click the installation exe file in your downloads

[azure eagle]

in roaming there is one

[patent geode]

You got the installer from python.org?

[balmy rune]

yes that’s it

[balmy rune]

nevermind

reinstall

[patent geode]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[azure eagle]

i just reinstalled it

[patent geode]

download installer from here

[azure eagle]

like 15 mins ago

[patent geode]

Check add to path when installing

[azure eagle]

i did

it was checked by default

[patent geode]

I think it is not checked by default

[balmy rune]

okay, restart your terminal if it was checked by default and run python -v

[patent geode]

See

[balmy rune]

no

[patent geode]

Not checked by default

[balmy rune]

oh yes

[azure eagle]

oh this

no it wasnt checked

ok so i install python ?

[balmy rune]

yes

[azure eagle]

do i have to delete files in appdata and programfiles ?

or just unistall from control pannel

[balmy rune]

no need, youll be fine, but if you must, uninstall it from apps & programs

[azure eagle]

alr im unistalling it rn

[balmy rune]

okay

[azure eagle]

slower than installation

o.O

ok done

[balmy rune]

install now

[azure eagle]

no admin ?

[patent geode]

yes admin

[balmy rune]

not really required but preferably yeah

[azure eagle]

ok ill check it

its installing rn

[balmy rune]

once installed restart your terminal / cmd / powershell, rerun pip install numpy and you should be good to go

[patent geode]

Use install now, not custom btw

That may be why your location wasn't default..

[azure eagle]

ow do i do that ?

[balmy rune]

it was in program files

[azure eagle]

i did

[patent geode]

Ah alright

[balmy rune]

you just, exit out of powershell, or your command prompt

reopen it

[balmy rune]

do pip install numpy

[balmy rune]

disable path length limit then close

[azure eagle]

alr

do i restart vs code ?

[balmy rune]

yeah

[azure eagle]

wew it works now

amazing

what is the environment variables thing tho ?

i had to change something at some point on another computer

[patent geode]

That means you can do python or pip without having to type out the FULL path

[balmy rune]

they basically tell the system “hi X is here, Y is here, Z is here”

[azure eagle]

i see

[patent geode]

It would have still worked, but you would have to type C:\full\path\to\pip etc.

[azure eagle]

so C:\full\path\to\pip install numpy ?

[balmy rune]

no…

pip install numpy

[azure eagle]

no no i mean

if pip didnt work

[patent geode]

Yeah, but then like the actual path to pip

[balmy rune]

it will work now

[balmy rune]

^

[patent geode]

I don't know where it is installed exactly

But adding to path means you don't need to know 😛

[azure eagle]

it did

[balmy rune]

c:/users/youruser/appdata/local/python/python3.13/pip.exe

[azure eagle]

hmm

ok

well

[balmy rune]

congrats

[azure eagle]

thank you very much to both of you
