Problem running auto py to exe from terminal [duplicate]

I have python 3.9 I used the command 'pip install auto-py-to-exe' and it downloaded but when I tried to using the command 'auto-py-to-exe' the program just said " 'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". I have the latest version of PIP and I also have PATH. What can I do to fix this?

This works on VSCode:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

If I install "auto-py-to-exe" using following command, as described in this link as well as from the comment from Justin Ezequiel (above):
python -m pip install auto-py-to-exe
I am able to run it (in Windows 10) using following command:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

This gave me quite a bit of trouble, as none of the above solutions worked for me. Spent lots of time trying to figure out what I should be adding to PATH with no success.
My issue stemmed from (I think) the fact that I have been using python downloaded from the windows store, which uses a different location to store python in.
With the manual install of python (https://www.python.org) you can specify where python is downloaded and automatically add that location to path.
Steps I took to solve the problem:
Uninstall all versions of python downloaded from the windows store via settings (settings > apps > python > uninstall)
Uninstall all version of python via the control panel (control panel > add or remove programs > python x.x.x > uninstall)
Uninstall auto-py-to-exe (pip uninstall auto-py-to-exe) in case it didnt do that automatically
Install python from python.org. (auto-py-to-exe is not supported in versions greater than 3.10 as of 1/23/2023). So I installed Python 3.10
The settings which were successful for me were:
Custom installation,
check install python for all users,
check add to path,
input 'C:\Python310' (with the respective version number) for install location,
install
Check new python version has been installed python --version
Check pip is installed pip --version
Install auto-py-to-exe pip install auto-py-to-exe
When auto-py-to-exe finishes installing, scroll up through the install info and make sure there are no warnings that state there is a location not found in PATH. If there are, you'll have to do some other research on adding those locations to PATH appropriately (since I don't think I was doing that right).
Assuming no PATH warnings,
9. Run auto-py-to-exe

First you need to type in the terminal (not Python):
auto-py-to-exe
If you are currently in python use exit() to exit then try the above code.

It Depends on in which environment you have installed
Make sure to replace {User} with your user
In Conda Enviournment go to below location Manually
C:\Users\{User}\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
In Pip, Environment go to the location below
C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
or you can add this path to your environment variable as well for accessing these from anywhere

First check you installed it
pip install auto-py-to-exe
then restart your vscode and check another time.
If still an error, check it in CMD.

As suggested above use:
pip show --files auto-py-to-exe to find out in what directory pip has
installed the scripts. Double check the directory is in %PATH%
This will show you where the installer has placed the binary files. I then changed to that directory which circumvents any path issue. I tried to run the files and found :
OSError: [WinError 1920] The file cannot be accessed by the system: 'C:\\Users\\aaaa\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\python.exe'
PS C:\users\aaaa\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python37\Scripts>
In my case, although I haven't worked out how to fix it yet... It would seem to be trying to refer to an incorrect Python executable, the files in that directory are all 0 length. Unfortunately the "python -m" suggestion didn't work for me, so it's back to the drawing board. Hope that helps you confirm if it's the right solution to chase down.

You need to make sure you have typed cd C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts as a separate command, and then auto-py-to-exe with python 3. Check in file explorer to make sure your path is correct if the cd fails.

problem with pycharm interperter and installing packages

I have a problem with installing packages in my pycharm project.
Until today everything worked perfectly, I could install packages and everything worked.
I didn't change anything but now everytime I try to install new package I get an error
pycharm message 1
pycharm message 2
But I do have pip installed in python interpreter
interpreter packages
I'm trying to understand what is the problem and how to fix it.
I'm not sure if this is the problem, but the interpreter is python 3.7 and the weird thing is when I'm checking the version on my cmd it's 3.8.3 but when I checked on Windows's apps it showed python 3.7.3
python version from cmd
Is there a reason it happened just randomly after it worked perfectly in the last couple of weeks I worked on the program?
Maybe it's because i updated the pip?

You can try few things
Running same command in terminal. If it doesn't work then please locate your pip.exe which is generally in the Scripts folder right next to python.exe. Make sure the path/to/folder is in environment variables
Reset project settings. Try deleting .idea directory in your project. This folder is created by pycharm to save settings. Open the project folder again in pycharm and set the interpreter.

Did you try to install directly with pip in the terminal ? If it doesn't work maybe you should reinstall it

Installation of OpenCV in anaconda not showing up in VS Code in Windows 10

I have a VM running only Anaconda. There are no other available installations of Python. This is all I see when I run "Apps and Features" in Windows 10 and filter for Python (note that it is Python 3.7.4):
When I go to the Conda prompt and enter conda list, I see that I have openCV installed :
but it's with a version of Python 3.7.6:
However when I open VS Code and I set my Python Path to the version in the Anaconda folder: (C:\Users\Me\Anaconda3\Python.exe) and try to import OpenCV, I get the "module not found" error. When I create a new python file and run
help("modules")
I do not see OpenCV in the list below in the terminal even though its installed.
Any idea how this is happening? I just don't see a second installation of Python on my PC, but why am I seeing 3.7.4 and 3.7.6 and is this possibly causing my issue?
Edit: Added a picture of the error I get when trying to run it.

Install anaconda plugin in VSCode and select your conda environment in the bottom left of VSCode window.
If you didn't create a conda environment, the you will probably have installed the package in the base environment.
Edit: Reading the PyPi project, I found the right way to import opencv in python code.
import cv2

python 3.4.3 64bit a program required for this install could not be run

Trying to install Python 3.4.3 64-Bit and it gives me the following error:
'There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support or package vendor'
I have no bloody idea what this means so please help. Thanks in advance
I'm the admin on my computer and have all permissions
My windows is 64bit and is Windows 8.1

I had the same phenomenon occur when trying to clean up (uninstall various versions of Python and perform a clean install of 3.4.3) on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what "program required for this install to complete could not be run". Repeated attempts to "install for all users" produced the same "could not be run" (followed by a roll back of the install). Just before getting out Orca and diving into the innards of the MSI file, I attempted an "install just for me", and the install completed. I am, in fact, the only (human) user of this computer. There is another user account that was created during a cygwin setup, and access to some aspect of that user's profile/resources may have been the issue. If you are installing Python for your own use - and not as a "platform-wide" resource for other users as well - you might try installing "just for me".

For me the problem was that I had an older version of Python installed, that the MSI could not un-install. I had to manually remove it first.
This is how I resolved the problem on my Windows7 machine...
Open a command prompt and navigate to the location of the python.exe. (For me this was C:\Python34.)
Execute this command
python3 -B -m ensurepip._uninstall
Close the command prompt.
Using the python MSI file for the version of Python I had previously installed (yes, I went to the Python archive and downloaded the MSI for the old version), install Python again, but without the "pip" package. (Not sure if this is necessary, but it worked for me.)
Using the same Python MSI file, uninstall Python completely.
Using another MSI, for the version of Python you wish to install, you should now be able to perform a "clean" install.

I got the same error while uninstalling the python file from the control panel. It prompts
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support or package vendor
I have solved this problem by installing the specific python-<version>.amd64.msi.
I then executed the MSI file. It asks for Change, repair, remove. First, click on Change radio button and complete execution. Later you can come to control panel and repair or uninstall the python file.

I had the same symptoms as OP. In my case, i had two separate installs, one of 2.7 and one of 3.4.3 and when i checked the PATH variable, there were 2 lines about PYTHONPATH pointing to the 2.7 version.
I removed the lines and then the repair funciton of the MSI did work. I uninstalled both versions and proceeded to reinstall.
Done :)
On a Win7 box:
Startup/ right click on Computer / Properties / Advanced system settings / Environment variables then check both sub-windows for paths related to python.

I had just the exact problem. But in mine case i've additionally removed the c:\python27 and c:\python36 directories and associated installers got stuck around Install/Uninstall and could not completely repair the installation (the /Scripts subdirectory has been missed and the python.exe reported an error about missed encodings module).
But i've found a solution for myself. Seems somehow the PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH environment variables (and may be PATH too) has been interfering with the Python installation process. But because i could not run Uninstall from the Windows Uninstall list in the Control Panel, then i did this:
Cleanup the PATH environment variable from all python path occurrences.
Remove PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH environment variables.
Restart Windows Explorer if environment variables (console command set PY must return the empty list) is not updated.
Run repair from (!) the python-3.4.4*.exe/python-2.7.11*.exe executables (download it if not done yet). Icons in the Windows Uninstall list in the Control Panel will reset into the original state for a repaired python installation.
Run the Uninstall from the same executables or from Windows Uninstall list in the Control Panel.
And it did the trick!
If you still needs the both versions of the python installation, then try install the older versions before the new versions. Seems it's important too.

Poking around, there is a temp file saying:
Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: UpdatePip,
location: C:\Programs\PY272\python.exe, command: -m ensurepip -U
--default-pip
=== Logging stopped: 6/12/2015 13:26:17 ===
OK, so the missing "Voldemort" file (that which shall not be mentioned) is the ensurepip package. There is documentation for ensurepip at https://docs.python.org/2/library/ensurepip.html. I am still on 2.7, but it looks like this is a shared problem with Py 3.
The documentation says the ensurepip package is new in 2.7.9. My solution: install a version prior to 2.7.9 and then upgrade the files myself from an existing install. Done.

How to check that the anaconda package was properly installed

I'm completely new to Python and want to use it for data analysis. I just installed Python 2.7 on my mac running OSX 10.8. I need the NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib and csv packages. I read that I could simply install the Anaconda package and get all in one. So I went ahead and downloaded/installed Anaconda 1.7.
However, when I type in:
import numpy as np
I get an error telling me that there is no such module. I assume this has to do with the location of the installation, but I can't figure out how to:
A. Check that everything is actually installed properly
B. Check the location of the installation.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You can determine which version of python you are running when you get the error by looking at the results of which python from the commandline. It is likely that you are running the system version (although recent versions Mac OS X include numpy in its system python), rather than Anaconda's python distribution. If this is the case, you need to modify your PATH as suggested by Anaconda at the end of the install process. Assuming it was installed in ~/anaconda, you would need to add something like:
export PATH=$HOME/anaconda/bin:$PATH
to your .bash_profile

Though the question is not relevant to Windows environment, FYI for windows. In order to use anaconda modules outside spyder or in cmd prompt, try to update the PYTHONPATH & PATH with C:\Users\username\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages.
Finally, restart the command prompt.
Additionally, sublime has a plugin 'anaconda' which can be used for sublime to work with anaconda modules.

I don't think the existing answer answers your specific question (about installing packages within Anaconda). When I install a new package via conda install <PACKAGE>, I then run conda list to ensure the package is now within my list of Anaconda packages.

you might want to try this:
for anaconda 2 :
export PATH=~/anaconda2/bin:$PATH
for anaconda 3 :
export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
for anaconda 4 :
Use the Anaconda Prompt
and then
conda --version
to confirm that it worked.
