just after download i was asked to tick the box that said ADD TO PATH ,so i did, that didnt work so i set about manually adding to path, that didnt work then i used cmd administrator and that didnt work either. i am running windows11 ,what else can i do to add to path
When the PATH is changed it is necessary to restart apps so that the change can be seen. If you start a new CMD what does set PATH report?
It is not necessary to add python to your PATH. You can use the py command instead.
py myapp.py
py -m pip install <package>
