window for "My Computer", then choose the "Advanced" tab, then hit the
"Environment Variables" button, and then look for the ``PATH`` variable in
the table. Add the following to the end of the variable's value:

variable in the table. Add the following to the end of the variable's value:
``;C:\Python36;C:\Python36\Scripts``. You may need to adjust these paths to
point to your Python installation.
