Sphinx-build can not be recognized as internl or external command

Question

On Python 2.5, I installed sphinx using easy_install and it is available at the following location on Windows 7:

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sphinx-1.0.8-py2.5.egg\sphinx

I wanted to convert a couple of .rst files to HTML. But whenever I do sphinx-build I encounter the following error:

'sphinx-build' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The sphinx-build command should be installed in C:\\Python25\\Scripts . Either use the full path, C:\\Python25\\Scripts\\sphinx-build , to call the command, or add that directory to your PATH.
