I can't run the script and make a virtual environment

I'm trying to install a virtual environment in order to work with libraries, but it absolutely does not work

python : The name "python" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, as well as the presence and correctness of the path, and then try again. line:1 sign:1

You need to add the path to your environment variables.

You should go to Control Panel>System and Security>System>Advanced System Settings>Environment Variables

Then select edit PATH and append the path to your python executable:

C:\Users\{your_user}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\{your_python_executable}
