anaconda - path environment variable in windows

Question

I am trying to run python from the windows command prompt (windows 10). So the result is the typical one when the path environment variable is not configured

Answer 1

it turns out I was mistaken.

Solution is: in anaconda (as well as in other implementations), set the path environment variable to the directory where 'python.exe' is installed.

As a default, the python.exe file in anaconda is in:

c:\.....\anaconda

after you do that, obviously, the python command works, in my case, yielding the following.

python
Python 3.4.3 |Anaconda 2.2.0. (64|bit)|(default, Nov 7 2015), etc, etc
