'psxevars command not found' when enabling Intel Fortran

I installed the non-commercial intel Fortran 2018 in Windows 10. According to the starting guide, I should run psxevars.bat. But when I typed 'psxevars' in cmd. It showed 'psxevars command not found'. So I used another way, double clicking it in windows. Then I try ifort in cmd. It doesn't work. It showed 'ifort command not found'. How can I make it work? Btw, I used the cmd in the product group from start menu.

First, make sure Visual Studio (e.g. Visual Studio Community 2015 version) is installed before installing Intel Parallel Studio.

After installing Intel Parallel Studio successfully, a "command line prompt" should be listed at the start menu like this:

start menu

There is no need to run psxevars.bat because the installing process has already done this for us.

Another situation might be that we try to use Intel tools in Windows command-line prompt through the cmd command. In this case, we need to run psxevars.bat. And do not forget to specify two arguments, arch and vs, as shown in below. psxevars.bat arguments

And notice that it only takes effects in this command-line window, i.e. the same running need to be done for every cmd command-line prompt.

an eternal way is to set the environment variable. Add directories containing Intel tool executables to the "PATH" environment variable, and other related things(libs, include).

On Windows, I recommend using Intel Parallel Studio with the Visual Studio IDE.
