Question

i installed setuptools from here:

i go to my command line and enter easy_install but it says easy_install is not recognized,

anyone knows what is happening here? i got no error message when installing setuptools.

I am using windows,

any help would be appreciated

You have to Add your scripts folder in your python installation folder to your PATH variable, for example if your python is installed in C:\Python27 you should do this :

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to Edit system environment variables
3. In the Advanced tab click on Environment Variables
4. find PATH variable and add ;C:\Python27\scripts to the end of it
