Easy_install does not work on Windows 7

Question

I have Python 2.6.4 installed in C: \ Python26.

I have PyQt4 installed here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-Py2.6-gpl-4.7.7-1.exe

I added this path to% PATH%:

C:\Python26;C:\Python26\Scripts 

When I type this command in cmd.exe, however:

 easy_install cheetah 

I get this error:

 C:\Users\Richard>easy_install cheetah 'easy_install' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\Users\Richard> 

Any help? In Windows XP, it worked.

Answer 1

I think he lives here: c:\python\scripts\easy_install.exe

---

Later: ok, did you install easy_install ? Download the appropriate Windows installer for your python version here . (If you do not have a scripts directory, then you probably did not install easy_install .)

Answer 2

Try adding the path C:\Python26\Scripts to %PATH% . easy_install.exe should be there.

Answer 3

There was a problem with this.

I added a space after the semicolon, and then typed the script directory. easy_install did not work until I deleted the space.

T. C: \ Python26; C: \ Python26 \ Scripts does not work ...

Answer 4

• Make sure easy_install is set to $Pythonpath\Scripts
• Add $Pythonpath\Scripts to %PATH% . How to do this can be found at fooobar.com/questions/26099 / ...
• Restart the command line.
