how to run a scrapy project using crawl command

I'm new to Scrapy and I'm walking through the Scrapy tutorial. I've been able to create my project by using windows7. my scrapy is installed in the path like this:

C:\Program Files\python2.7\scripts.

I construct a project called yuan by scrapy startproject yuan, but when I try to run the project by scrapy crawl yuan, there is an error:"unknown command crawl".

I tried to execute it in the"yuan" project where I can see the file "scrapy.cfg", C:\Program Files\python2.7\scipts\yuan\scrapy crawl yuan, there is another error:

"scrapy is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

I am sure I have changed my path environmental variables, I have added

"C:\Program Files\python2.7\scripts" and "C:\Program Files\python2.7"

into the path variables.

How can I deal with this problem?

You can try this:

cd C:\Program Files\python2.7\scipts\yuan

scrapy crawl yuan

If you run crawl command outside of a project, scrapy will raise "unknown command crawl" error.

Global commands:

startproject
settings
runspider
shell
fetch
view
version

Project-only commands:

crawl
check
list
edit
parse
genspider
deploy
bench

Scrapy has two different type of commands as listed above.

In your case Crawl is a project only command. So you have to navigate to your project and execute the crawl command. 

Cd <your project>

scrapy crawl <Project name>
