FRC-Characterization not working?

[SkyGuy]

Hey guys, I am very much a noobie when it comes to the new characterization tool and I am having trouble getting the software to run. I type the commands in my prompt exactly as they appear on the tutorial and everything seems to install and update smoothly. However, when I try to open a new project using the frc-characterization drive new command it fails saying ‘frc-characterization is not recognized as an internal or external command’ I have tried on multiple machines and get the same error. Can anyone help?

Thank you

What was the output of the pip install frc-characterization command?

[SkyGuy]

The first time I ran the command it installed everything successfully it appears because now when I run it says the requirements are already satisfied.

Try pip install --upgrade frc-characterization?

[SkyGuy]

Responds with ‘successfully installed frc-characterization-2020.229’ but trying to create a new project still shoots me the same error.

Try restarting the computer, or running your terminal program as an admin.

I tried both and am still getting the same error

Which version of Python are you running? If you just type in python in a terminal window, it will launch a python command window and show you the python version.

[SkyGuy]

Python 3.7.6

If you’re using windows, make sure that your PATH environment variable includes the location of your python directory. For my computer, it is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts\

Note that this may vary based on where Python is installed on your computer

It should look like this:

Also, under C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts\, there should be the ‘frc-characterization’ script located in it if it installed properly.
