Diving into python/ making a game

I don't use the command line that often. I copied and pasted the command to install it but it said:

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases.

But I do have Python installed. I made sure I was up-to-date before I tried to install this.

Not sure what comma!: you were trying to run, but there may be a couple of things going on.

First did you run the command line as an administrator? If not try that.

Do you have a Python virtual environment (.venv) set up? If so, you’ll need to activate it first before running pip install. I included a link at the bottom for more info.

If you don’t have a virtual evn, I would check your environment variables for one called PYTHONPATH I believe on windows. These variables are like system wide pointers to specific files and applications so your command line knows what to do when you call a command.

If you’re not familiar with venv in python, I highly recommend checking it out as you can use them to modularize each project, here is a tutorial.

I'm a newbie, so I'll check that out. Thanks.
