Python not recognised as command

Question

I know that I need to add Python to my PATH and I've tried to add it by copy and pasting its address C:\\Users\\aiden\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Python 3.6 to my PATH , but when I try to use python in the command prompt, it is not recognized as a command.

Here an image of my PATH variable:

Answer 1

It seems very unlikely that your python has been installed to the Start Menu path. Try

1. Right-click on your 'Python 3.6' in your start menu path and open file location
2. In the folder that appears, right-click on 'Python 3.6' and copy the text from 'Target'
3. Add the Target-text into 'system environment variables' where the variable name is 'Path'

You might need to logout and in again, for this to take affect.
