Run: python setup.py install and job done! Now open the windows command prompt, and using the following command move to the folder just copied.Ĭd C:/Python32/Lib/site-packages/pyserial-2.6Ī quick ‘dir’ command will show the list of all files inside that folder. After downloading the pyserial file, extract it and move it to C:/Python32/Lib/site-packages. Once we are in that folder where “setup.py” file is, all that is needed is to run it using the following:ġ. So rather than double -clicking stuff, we move to that folder using the “cd” command.
Similarly, what we are trying to do here is to run a program called ‘setup.py’, but this time from the command prompt. Anyway, if i want to run “angry_birds.exe”, what I should do is go inside the “games” folder and double click on the icon for the angry birds game.

Now close all windows and RESTART your computer. Python 3.2 is installed in the location ‘ C:\Python32‘, so just add this to the path variable.ģ. Look for the variable ‘Path’, select it and click edit. Then go to advanced system properties and select environment variables. Right click on computer and select properties. We need to solve this issue first and for that we need to set our ‘environment variables‘.Ģ. If you get an error like “python is not recognized as an internal command…bla bla bla…” it means that your system can not find where your python executable is. Open up the command prompt and type python. To resolve this error, first you need to check whether your windows machine can find the python executable, by which I mean the following:ġ.
