Isn’t it supposed to be pipenv? Where env is short for environment? ---

NOTE: assuming you have the pipenv binary installed, it is most likely the case that you do not have the full path to pipenv in your PATH variable. One way to bypass the problem is to specify the full path to the pipenv binary (assuming you know where it is). ---

Maybe grab a screenshot of what it looks like might be enough for me to tell. It could be Gitbash, PowerShell, or the command prompt (possibly others as well). > [@Carlos\_Naty](#): > > Please where can I find the full path to the pipenv binary ? The following should tell you where packages are installed: ```auto pip list -v ``` If using a bash-like setup, it would usually go in /usr/local/bin/pipenv, but on Windows it is probably some path more like c:\users\\appdata\roaming\python\\scripts\pipenv. ---

> [@Carlos\_Naty](#): > > After entering pip list -v, here is what I get. Please how do I proceed ? Great, the long path on the line with pipenv is the path to that binary. You should be able to copy that (basically everything from c: onwards) to use as the full path. You could also try adding that directory to your PATH variable which would allow you to use pipenv directly. I am not certain if the " pip" at the end of the line is part of the path so you may want to at least try entering the full path once: ```auto c:\users\felic\...(rest of path)\pipenv ``` > [@Carlos\_Naty](#): > > Is this what you meant by the type of terminal vscode is running ? Yes, that shows you are using PowerShell for your terminal in VSCode. You can add a path to the PowerShell path like this: ```auto $Env:Path += ';c:\some\path' ``` ---

For some background: the purpose of the Path is to tell the terminal application where to look for binaries when you are not going to fully specify the path to the binary. It will look for all of the binaries in each of the semicolon-separate paths you have specified in the Path (or PATH on MacOS / Linux systems).
