I wanted to install the play framework today.
So I went to the download page https://www.playframework.com/download here and downloaded the Play with Activator zip file Activator 1.3.12 including Play 2.5.13 (671M).
After that, I extracted it, and added the extracted activator-dist-1.3.12 directory to the path in the enviroment variables.
So according to the download page, I should now be able to use commands like
activator new
or
activator ui
But none of them are working. It seems like my command window can't find the activator command. What did I do wrong, or what did I forget ?
**Edit: **
This is the error message I get from the command line: The command "activator" is either spelled wrong or could not be found. I am using Windows 10 if that helps. The java version I am using is 1.8.0_111.
This is my path:
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer;C:\Users\Stefan\JEE\apache-maven-3.3.3-bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\pub;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\;C:\Users\Stefan\Desktop\Studium\6.Sem\bin;%USERPROFILE%\.dnx\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\;C:\Users\Stefan\Desktop\Play\activator-dist-1.3.12
One thing I noticed is that, normally the PATH System variable is written completely in capital letters. Mine isn't it's just written normally.
The commands are in the subfolder bin. Update your path to point to activator-dist-1.3.12\bin and it will work.
