Python is not Recognised

[odohemma]

On testing whether a python script would run using the Command Prompt, I got this reply; "'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." How can I resolve this?
P.S: Until my download, and installation of the latest Anaconda software today, I have never experienced this.

If you want to run python in any directory, i would just install python to the OS instead of a standalone version like anaconda.
