C:\Users\Youngsavk\intro-to-numpy>conda create -n 100days numpy jupyter
'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
^^^ Please help. Followed links to download both. I'm on windows so this all kinda sucks but oh well. Please and thank you!

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\<YOUR DIR TO Anaconda3>;C:\<YOUR DIR TO Anaconda3>\Scripts\
Add both of them mainly because the script to run conda is inside Scripts.
You can also add to the path by pressing the Windows Key and writing edit environment variables for your account, selecting Path variable -> Edit-> New.
Hope it helps.

3,046 PointsWell I have that, but I'm wondering why when I try to follow him during setup, in the anaconda command prompt, mine won't recognize "conda" as a key word to launch anything. And I've followed the downloads if both Anaconda (not miniconda) and Jupyter notebook in the videos linked below the first step's Teacher's Notes.
Sandro Costa
13,163 PointsIt's due to the fact that, like me, you're working on a Windows machine. If the command is not added to your PATH, it's not recognized. That's why Seth told you to use "Anaconda Prompt" on your start menu. It's easier to do that on windows.

3,046 PointsWell see that's the thing: I've been using Anaconda Prompt this whole time, instead of using the powershell or the Command Prompt once I found out that they won't work. None of them (all 3) understand the keyword "conda". How do I, having already installed the packages, add "conda" to my PATH?
