Add Python to the Windows path

Question

If I forget to add the Python to the path while installing it, how can I add it to my Windows path? Without adding it to the path I am unable to use it. Also if I want to put python 3 as default.

Answer 1

Edit Path in Environment Variables

Add Python's path to the end of the list (these are separated by ';').

For example:

C:\\Users\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36;

C:\\Users\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\Scripts

and if you want to make it default

you have to edit the system environmental variables

edit the following from the Path

C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32;C:\\Python27

Now Python 3 would have been become the default python in your system

You can check it by python --version
