Windows does not recognize Python when installed from chocolatey

[Dave_couling]

In an effort to fix Toolchain problems setting up nRF Connect, I uninstalled Python and tried reinstalling via choco install python as per the "Installing Manually" instructions here. https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_installing.html 

However now my system does not recognize python, seeming to suggest I need to download it separately?  Is this true?  Do I need to manually install python in addition to the install command above?

Hi,

The install command should install Python, so you do not have to download it separately. If your system does not find Python, then most likely it is not added to path. Can you please verify that Python is added to path, and that it is correct?

Best regards,

Marte

When installed from Chocolatey where is the install location?  I did a search of my file system and nothing returned

Hi,

This varies, but possible locations are directly in your top directory (C:\Python39), in %PROGRAMFILES% (C:\Program Files\Python39) or under C:\ProgramData\chocolatey. If you do not find it in any of these places, can you try to run the install command again and upload the log here?

Best regards,

I found the chocolatey folders where python appears to be installed.  However even when I add this to the PATH, it is still unrecognized by my system.  Also it doesn't appear to install  pip3 nor west in a recognizable way on my system

Hi,

Can you run the commands to install the tools again and copy the resulting output here?

Best regards,
