How to use Anaconda Python to execute a .py file?
<p>I just downloaded and installed Anaconda on my Windows computer. However, I am having trouble executing .py files using the command prompt. How can I get my computer to understand that the python.exe application is in the Anaconda folder so it can execute my .py files?</p>

<p>Anaconda should add itself to the PATH variable so you can start any .py file with "python yourpythonfile.py"  and it should work from any folder. </p>

<p>Alternatively download pycharm community edition, open your python file there and run it. Make sure to have python.exe added as interpreter in the settings.</p>
