I recently downloaded Emacs 25.2 with the dependencies on Windows 10. I'm attempting to run python script using elpy. I created an init file including -
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)
After failing, I also manually installed elpy - After running the first half of the init (above) ->
M-x package-refresh-contents RET
M-x package-install RET elpy RET
- It seems to have downloaded but I cannot access M-x elpy-config - Error message:
No such file or directory, python.
- Nor can I compile basic code -
print("Hello world")
Error message:
python HelloWorld.py 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Compilation exited abnormally with code 1
When in the code it seems like none of the features elpy is supposed to have are working.
I also cannot indent using tab in the script... I'm not sure if this is the same issue though.
I believe python is pre downloaded with emacs. Is this correct? Is there something I am missing in order to do this?
Thanks!
Edit: I realize having all of my init.el file may be necessary:
