Using Python from a command window: Setting the PATH variable on Windows 8: Picture Provided

Question

As of now only this works:

set path=C:\Python34

But this has to be done each and every time cmd is opened.

I am trying to set a permanent variable

I tried following the below steps but I do not have a Variable "Path" so i cannot click to edit it. Please look at the picture screen shot. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Press Edit
Carefully use the right arrow button to move to the end of the long sequence of folder names. At the very end, without including any extra blanks, type this:
;C:\Python24

Answer 1

Setting path variable

You need to edit the path variable in the system variables section. Add the following to the end of the variable value :

C:\Python34\;C:\Python34\Scripts;

Answer 2

If you want to configure Python for all users on your computer (by changing the System environment variable), just scroll up a few clicks. The variables are listed in alphabetical order by name, so PATH should be just a few notches above PSModulePath. (Note that modifying System environment variables requires that you have Administrator privilege.) Or, if either you’re not privileged or you need to set this up only for yourself, create a New user variable by clicking on "New..." in (under) the "User variables for Roo" section. Enter the name as PATH and the value as C:\Python34. If, in the future, you need to add other directories to your PATH, separate them with semicolons, e.g., C:\Python34;C:\Cobra42;C:\Panda17.
