Setting up our Workspace for Windows 10 - HawpT/BrainFloss GitHub Wiki

Open the windows Advanced System Settings and open the Environment Variables dialogue.

In the bottom box, System Variables, highlight the Path variable, and hit edit. At the bottom of the picture below, you can see I have added the directory to which I installed my python as well as the subfolder scripts. This will enable you to execute python.exe and pip.exe from any directory when you are working in cmd. You don't need to type the .exe either. Now test this out. Type pip into cmd. Also, try typing python. You should see multiple lines of responses from running those programs. Make sure you re-start cmd before you try this.

At some point you can type pip install django==1.9.2

Now navigate to where you want to put your workspace. I put mine here: **C:\users\kevin**. Navigate inside of this new folder inside of CMD

git init

git remote add origin https://github.com/HawpT/BrainFloss

git pull origin master

Now we should have installed Django 1.9.2 in the sandbox, as well as updated our pip to 8.0.2 in case it wasn't already current.

Now if you type dir into cmd, you should see something like this
