'pybot' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I installed Python2.7.12 and then installed robotframework using the below command

python -m pip install robotframework

it showed the result as installed successfully.

When i have given the command pybot --version it showed as 

'pybot' is not recognized as an internal or external command

In environment variables python home set as C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts are set.

Please any can help me what can be reason for error

Thanks Sarada

If there is no pybot.bat file, then create a pybot.bat file and add robot %* inside this file. Add the path of this file to %PATH environment variable.

Following steps worked for me:

  1. Add C:\Python27\Scripts to the path environment variable
  2. Create pybot.bat file inside above location and put robot %* this content.

setup following in the environment variable PATH C:\Python27; C:\Python27\Scripts C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robot; and also browser.exe path

I added

C:\Python27\Scripts

along with below values in System Variables' PATH variable.

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robot;
C:\Python27;
C:\Python27\bin;

Only then it worked.

Also every time you update environment variables you need to relaunch your cmd/powershell window or reload environment variables for changes to reflect.
