everyone. I installed anaconda to use python and install ai packages. I am new to high-level computer use beyond the normal GUI that windows has blessed us with.
Background: I am just starting using command prompts and am teaching myself python to use for ai with keras and tensorflow. Unfortunately, I cannot get far enough to install these packages because after I install anaconda, I get multiple errors in the command prompt. Access Denied was solved by installing for all users and running as administrator. However, I cannot use conda, and when I use pip, I get constant html errors. Nothing works. I tried adding \Anaconda3 and \Anaconda3\Scripts to PATH, but it doesn't change anything. The prompt starts by telling me that it cannot find the specified paths then kicks me over to C:\Windows\system32, but when I cd back to my \Anaconda3 directory, nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to try?
I appreciate it. As basic as this is, rest assured I spent days struggling with this before posting.

I know this is a problem that's been asked here before, but I have tried all the solutions I found and not solved it. It's possible I'm not understanding the solutions, but I have tried my best.
I am teaching myself Python and it is slow going, so I don't understand a lot yet. I'm using VSCode as an IDE, Python version 3.10, and Windows 10. I only have the Python extension installed for VSCode. My project files are on a flash drive, D. I replaced a couple folder names with [Default Names] in the text below.
I keep trying to debug/run some code in VSCode and the very first line
import numpy as np
gives me the error
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError - No module named 'numpy'.
But I know that's not true:
`PS D:\0-Career\Programming\PythonCoding\[ProjectFolder]> py -m pip install numpy
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\users\[UserID]\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (1.23.1)`
I tried the solution of going to
environment variables > system variables > "Path" > edit > new >
c:\users\[UserID]\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\
as well as
C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\
and
C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\
and I also tried adding a user variable called Python. Nothing appears to have changed as a result of these additions.
Some history if it's helpful:
I first started by installing Python using the Microsoft Store. I used IDLE for a bit, and I used my command line to install pip and numpy. They worked for a little while. I later installed Visual Studio Code IDE. I ultimately have uninstalled the Microsoft Store version and installed the application from the Python site for Windows instead. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it several times trying to fix my issues, and same for numpy. I also searched my C drive for "python" and burned everything from the past couple days and reinstalled and repaired it out of desperation. No luck.
I have tried to the best of my ability to uninstall everything and reinstall everything to start fresh, because numpy worked ever so briefly early on in IDLE, I think until I had installed the web download version of Python. I don't really understand environment variables, so I'm not sure what I'm doing or if I'm doing that wrong, or what needs to be restarted when I try something new, so it's possible I missed something.
Answers a 10 year old could understand would be appreciated! Or terminology I can easily research for an explanation of how to do it.
Ctrl+Shift+P open Command Palette
choose Python:Select Interpreter
Choose the right interpreter
Go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
Also Check 64 bit or 32 bit
Download the latest version
and open the location where you downloaded the NumPy module now press the 'SHIFT' key and press right-click on the mouse then a menu will open where you find open PowerShell. open it now PowerShell window opens in the folder now type pip install and the file name and press the TAB button and click enter. then the NumPy module will be installed.
Have Fun
Try adding the variable PYTHONPATH to your system variables and add the following paths to this variable.
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\DLLs
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\Lib
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\Scripts
It should look something like this.
Screenshot of Environment Variables
After you added the variable restart your VS Code and it should work.
I hope this helps.
I have a python script that runs fine on the desktop version of Power BI but not on the service. I use Anaconda, which I'm pretty sure comes prepackaged with all the packages needed for Power BI, like numpy, pandas etc, and also have a personal on-premises gateway installed. I am sure the problem is with the python installation as the refresh worked fine on the service on another computer I used previously. The exact error is "Failed to update data source credentials: ADO.NET: Python installation not found".
Googling has brought me to this link, where the exact same issue occurred. However, I don't understand what steps this user took to fix it. Where can I find this "base python installation" if I uninstall Anaconda? I ran where.exe python in the cmd which brought the following links:
C:\Users\Name\Anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
Is the second one some default python installation on my machine as I don't remember installing it. I am thinking the gateway might detect this if I uninstall anaconda and reinstall the gateway. Would the home directory just be the WindowsApps folder? Currently I just have it listed as C:\Users\Name\Anaconda3
Edit: Upon further searching, it seems the WindowsApps/python.exe is just a link to the Microsoft store installation so don't think this is it. Do I need to install Python standalone without anaconda then?
Good morning everyone,
MacBook Air 2017.
I am new to code, and I have just started to learn a few lines of Python. I had installed version 3.8 a few months ago, and now I have started learning a bit more seriously. I found out about the pip command, but trying to install the docx pip through "pip install python-docx" showed me an error.
To be completely honest, I started to watch on the internet how to fix this problem, but I didn't really understand what I was doing. I tried to install Pyenv to somehow correct the error by making Python 3.9.4 the default version for the Mac, following this website https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac. I tried to modify the .bash trough "touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile", hoping this would somehow fix the issue following How do I edit $PATH (.bash_profile) on OSX?. In the end, I just decided to uninstall both 3.8 and 3.9.4 to somehow start again through https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/284824/remove-and-reinstall-python-on-mac-can-i-trust-these-old-references, but nothing happened. At this moment in time, I have no clue what happened and if somehow I have made things even worse (which I probably did).
Right now, whenever I use any command with pip an error comes up, and I don't know how to fix it in order to be able to use modules & pip in Python. The error could be the same as the following one that I have attached to the post, which comes up after writing commands in terminal:

Thanks a lot, Bye.
I'm actually using Python for an audio steganography project but I have some troubles.
I searched this error code on the forum, but I found things about SQL installations and not Python.
I'm trying to re-install Python 3.6.5 after an uninstall, because of a bug with pip.
I installed Python 2.7, Python 3.6.5, Python with VS 2017, before uninstall it because it wasn't working.
However, when I'm runing the installer as an administrator, hit "customize installation", tick everything excpet "balblalblabal (this requires VS 2015 or later)", and click on "install", it tells me that :
.
I realy need Python to work and I'm now stuck ...
If anybody here could help me, it would be nice !
Thanks all,
maleik.
PS : I have the log for you :*
The log link
I found this in the log file which you have attached. Try cleaning the registry with CC cleaner and give it a try. If it still doesn't work, try installing python with web installer Python Web Installed 3.6.5.

I installed python from Microsoft store after facing this problem and it magically got installed without any error as it may have directly been installed. I don't know but try if it eorks for you too.
You need to run the installation as a local administrator.
I had the same problem installing Python version 3.9 for the first time on my Windows 10, as this same problem happens to many users trying to install Python, the best solution I accidentally, just like #MANAN AGGARWAL discovered trying to check if I already had a version of Python installed on my computer by the DOS Command Prompt, was:
Open the DOS Command Prompt (cmd) and dictate "python": if a screen shows you a version, it's clearly not the first time you've installed Python, so if you want to upgrade you should try: https: / /www.delftstack.com/en/howto/python/how-to-update-python/ But if you've never installed any version of Python, the solution lies in updating your operating system to the latest version through Windows Update, and open the command prompt and type Python, or go directly to the Microsoft Store and search for Python followed by its latest version. It works without error.
** If by chance it does not automatically install on your PC after downloading, click "install on my devices" and select your computer name.
Why can't I install Python directly from the website file? Please note that when trying to install any software/applications from outside Microsoft's trusted locations, there are high chances of user settings interfering with the installation. When coming, for example, from the Microsoft Store, a chance of success is much greater, even without having problems related to User Permission Settings.
Another important thing to point out here is that installing a lot of software from outside Microsoft's trusted platforms can cause you to change some user permissions which can have positive effects with some software and negative effects with others, even with security your own system if you don't know what you're doing.
it's simple , Try Lower Version Like 'Python 3.6' but Download web install.
install it , then install last python version.
your python will update.
I've faced same/similar problem with installing Python 3.9.12 in a clean Windows 8.1 64-bit (VirtualBoxed test environment).
I thought the issue could have been fixed in a newer version of Python, but the freshest 3.10.10 fails with same issue.
The original log isn't available any longer, but luckily it is quoted in another answer, and the following line reveals the real problem:
Applied execute package: core_AllUsers, result: 0x80070643, restart: None
My log looks the same, and if you scroll the log up, you'll discover that core_AllUsers is a UCRT MSI-installer, which is downloaded from Python site (for 3.10.10 64-bit the link may look like https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/amd64/ucrt.msi).
If you download it manually (Python installer is smart enough to do a cleanup even if it fails, so you won't find this MSI in a local cache) and run, it will probably crash. And if it is your case, I have a simple solution - just install update KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime) for your OS, which you can download from Microsoft.
I also faced the similar issue. What the trick worked for me is I installed it for the individual user (as earlier installation was for the all users).
So earlier if one has installed it for the all users then install it for the specific user and vice versa.
I know this is not the resolution of the error faced. However, this approach will install Python which is the main motive to achieve.
I encountered the same issue after installing a fresh Windows 8.1 on my PC.
I solved that by using the Python v3.9 web installation file which you can find here.
However, you can choose any other version that has a web installation file
Note: You need internet connection to use this method.
I'm trying to get node.js running on Windows 7. I have no experience with Linux so I've just been blindly following instructions from tutorials I've found, but I'm still unable to build node.js.
What I did:
Install Cygwin - the entirety
Attempt to build node.js
This is the error I first got:
I then followed the commands of two other similar sites and they all resulted in this error (could getting several version of node have caused me more problems? I'm completely clueless on this).
I read somewhere that the Windows version of Python could be causing the problem so I uninstalled my Python 2.7 and added C:\cygwin\bin to the PATH.
That still didn't work and I read somewhere else that I'm supposed to rebaseall so I tried that, but I also got an error for that:
That's where I'm at now. Have any steps I've taken exacerbated the situation?
Add -e '/\/sys-root\/mingw\/bin/d' at line 110 in /bin/rebaseall file.
Then re-run rebaseall -v and you shouldn't get the error anymore.
See this pretty helpful blog posting - Node on CygWin doesn't work for Node v0.2.5. Use the latest v0.4.0 version instead.
Also consider the post's recommendation of compiling against MinGW instead of in CygWin.
First of all, why did you check out such an old release v0.2.5? When I did it a few weeks ago I just took the latest and ended up with 0.5.0pre, but it would also be reasonable to specify v0.4.3. For instance, type git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git to download node, and then:
cd node
./configure
make install
Secondly, do not rebase by running ash from the CYGWIN shell. Instead, shutdown all Cygwin processes, then use Windows explorer to open the ash.exe binary. Since I have a Windows 7 system without node.js, I decided to follow my instructions and build. Not so easy. I ran into some wierd dll issues that all went away when I ran ./rebaseall followed by ./perlrebase from the ash prompt. It seems that rebaseall is not sufficient anymore.
Thirdly, there is a message that makes it sound like you don't have a C compiler. Some googling will lead you to sites telling which Cygwin packages you need, but at minimum install the g++ compiler and that should pull in C as a dependency.
When I did this I simply ran configure and every time there was an error, installed one more Cygwin package to supply the missing piece. Even OpenSSL is available.
What I just found is remove the windows based install of Python. After uninstalling this, everything is peachy.
I like cygwin a lot -- but recent releases have become pretty unreliable. Some packages just wont build, and some "standard" apps dont work e.g. gvim's "save as" bombs out on my installation.
A possible solution would be run one of the better Linux distributions (ubuntu, fedora, suse etc.) either as a virtual machine or a dual boot setup and do the build inside linux.
