uh hello guys welcome to this video so
0:03
in this video I will show you if you are
0:05
getting this error message choco is not
0:08
recognized as an internal or external
0:10
command so choco is a shorthand for
0:14
software called as
0:16
chocol chocity is a package manager for
0:19
Windows machine if you want to manage
0:21
different third party programs from your
0:24
terminal itself you use
0:27
chocol program I'm assuming that you
0:30
have installed
0:31
chocol if you haven't just typed chocol
0:35
download
0:36
and just go to select your operating
0:40
system and just open the powers shell
0:44
and they have given this
0:49
command and just paste this I've already
0:52
installed choco but still I'm unable to
0:55
access it from the this choco command
0:58
for doing this uh by default it's stored
1:01
in the C
1:02
directory and there is a folder called
1:05
as program
1:08
data inside this
1:11
folder you will find out a folder called
1:14
as chocol so by default you will see
1:18
this folder and just go to the bin
1:24
directory and here you will see all your
1:28
chocol executed
1:30
if you
1:31
see if you try to open the command line
1:34
here type the same command choco you
1:36
will see the command will be
1:39
successful so now we what we need to do
1:42
is that we just need to right click copy
1:45
this entire location and just open your
1:47
environment
1:49
variable and just go to the system
1:53
variable and then go to the path right
1:57
here edit and just add add a new entry
2:01
paste the entire
2:04
path so after making this change just
2:07
restart the terminal and just now open
2:09
the command line globally so if you type
2:13
the command choco you will see the
2:15
command will be
2:16
successful so in this easy way you can
