The term 'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized error while converting the .py file to .exe
Question:
After I finish my python project, I tried to convert it to .exe file, so I use python version 3.10. I already installed the auto-py-to-exe app from the cmd but when I want to open it I get this error:
auto-py-to-exe : The term 'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized as the name of
a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.

Answers:
Check if you added Python and Python Scripts to your PATH.
- Search for "Edit the system environment variables" (Windows Search) and click the first result
- Click "Environment Variables…" in the window that opened
- In the "System variables" section double click the "Path" variable
- In the window that opened click the "New" button and type
C:Python310
there. Create another entry and type C:Python310Scripts
there.
- Click "OK"
Now open the command prompt (make sure to not open the terminal) and type in auto-py-to-exe
or autopytoexe
, both should work.
