uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:02
so in this video I'll show you if this
0:06
error message is coming if you type cmd
0:09
in the
0:10
terminal if uh the information is not
0:12
displayed about your command line
0:15
instead of this message is qu cmd is not
0:18
recognized as an internal or external
0:21
command so the prime reason for getting
0:23
this error is that you haven't added the
0:26
location inside your environment
0:28
variable so just go to the C
0:30
drive and go to the Windows
0:34
folder and inside this we have a folder
0:37
called as system 32 where all your
0:41
operating system files are
0:43
located so you just need to copy the
0:46
location right here so if you try to
0:49
open the terminal here and type the same
0:51
command cmd now you will see the command
0:54
will perfectly work here all the
0:56
operating system files are stored guys
0:58
all the executables so just need to copy
1:01
the folder location right click copy and
1:04
then just register it globally so now
1:08
just go to environment variable go to
1:10
the system path
1:13
variable right here you need to click
1:16
edit add a new entry simply paste the
1:20
full path here c Windows system 32 so
1:23
after you make this change just restart
1:26
the terminal and just type the same
1:28
command cmd so it will show you the
1:31
information about your command line
