Answer 1

When ever you install anaconda on windows now a days, it will not automatically add Python or Conda to your path.

While the installation process is going on you should check this box shown in following image, you should also add python  to your path manually as you shown in following image.

If you no idea where your conda and python is then you need to type the following commands into your anaconda prompt

1. where python
2. where conda

Now you can add Python and Conda to your path by using your setx command in your command prompt also replace C:\Users\peterlaw\Anaconda2 with the results you got when running where python and where conda.

SETX PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users\peterlaw\Anaconda2\Scripts;C:\Users\peterlaw\Anaconda2"

Now just close that command prompt and open a new one. Congrats !! now you can use the conda and python
