0:03
you this how to fix this error message
0:05
which is coming if you type python in
0:08
your
0:09
terminal if this error message is coming
0:12
that python was not found run without
0:15
arguments to install so if you can't
0:17
access python from your terminal then I
0:20
will show you how to fix that error in
0:22
this video
0:24
so for this you do need to install
0:27
python so just go to python website
0:30
and download the latest version of
0:32
python right here from this website
0:34
which is 3.1
0:37
3.2
0:38
so by default it will add the python
0:41
into your path but for but for some
0:44
reason if you have remove the python
0:46
installation From the Path that's why
0:49
you can't access python from the
0:50
terminal so I will show you the manual
0:52
method so just go to the C drive after
0:55
you install python by default it's
0:57
stored inside your users folder
1:00
this folder and whatever is your
1:02
username mine is Asus right here just go
1:05
to your username and then there is a
1:07
folder called as app
1:09
data so this is actually the folder
1:11
right here by default it's hidden app
1:14
data go to this folder and then we have
1:17
the folder called as local go to this
1:20
folder and just search for programs
1:23
folder right
1:24
here so this is your folder right here
1:28
and inside this

1:32
actually
1:33
see python folder so just search for the
1:36
python
1:38
folder you will see that all your python
1:41
installations will be stored right here
1:43

1:45
it and if you have multiple
1:47
installations of python you will
1:49
see I have multiple ones which is python
1:52
3.9 and python
1:56
3.1.2 so whatever python version you
1:59
want to use simply open that and
