I'm having a very weird issue with the command line and running Ant. I point the path variable at the location of my Ant bin directory (C:\Ant\bin) and when i go into a command window and type PATH it shows the location in it. But when I go to run Ant by typing "ant" it does nothing and states that it isn't recognized. But when I go to the run window (Windows+R) and type "ant" it runs it.
I have restarted Windows twice and the problem still persists. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 installed. I have tried "Running as Administrator" with no difference.
Any one experience anything like this before?
Sometimes you can set a system-wide (or even just personal) Environment Variable and it'll cure it, as opposed to just setting it in your shell.
Go to the Control-panel, then System, then Advanced, and look for the button on Environment Variables. From there, you can follow your nose.
Good luck.
Ant also depends on Java to be on the path. Do you have that?
I would also check to make sure the environment variables ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set up properly in the console.
Is there any chance that the command window you are trying to run Ant in is a different window to the cmd windwo where you set up and verify that its in the path? If the PATH is updated after a cmd window is already open it won't recongnise the change. Not clear if that might be your issue.
If you are in the dir C:\Ant\bin and type "ant" does it recognise it?

Flutter path is correct but still unable to be recognized by the windows command prompt. Looked everywhere asked anyone who used flutter still unable to figure out the problem.
Tried suggestions made on other questions similar to this still no luck and followed the tutorials on installing flutter did not work.
For Windows users (Windows 10)
Open Start menu and type env
Click on Environment Variables..
under User variables, select Path then click Edit
Click New then past this line C:\src\flutter\bin(supposing this is where 'bin' directory of Flutter is located on your machine)
Click 'OK'.
Restart is required to apply changes.
The command prompt you're using appears to be using elevated permissions and therefore will have the "system" environment variables but not your user ones necessarily. Try with a non-elevated command prompt... which you should be using anyways. Only use an elevated command prompt when absolutely needed as otherwise you could delete important things by accident. Also, you can run echo %PATH% to see what is actually in the path in the command prompt you're using.
If you want to use flutter across multiple users or need to use an elevated command prompt for some reason, add the path to flutter/bin to the system environment variables instead.
Adding the following things in the path solved the issue for me
C:\Program Files\Git\bin
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
C:\src\flutter\bin
For windows user make sure to include C:\Windows\System32 in your user PATH variable,this prevents the flutter command prompt from flashing when you click it.
I use the terminal view in eclipse:
Every time I start the terminal I run a command to set an environment variable, e.g.
SET HTTPS_PROXY=***.**.***.***:****
I need this as a prerequisite to be able to download some python packages with the python package manager, e.g
pip install mesa
=> Is there a way to automatically run a "startup command" when the Eclipse terminal is opened?
I expected that there would be some Eclipse setting to configure the environment variables for the terminal or to specify some initialization script. However, I could not find such a setting.
I tried to set the proxy settings in eclipse.ini
-Dhttp.proxyHost=***.**.***.***
-Dhttp.proxyPort=****
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1
However, that does not seem to influence the proxy for the terminal view.
(I actually use a portable version of eclipse with EclipseProtable and in EclipsePortable.ini I am already able to specify some extra paths that will be known when I open a terminal view, e.g.
AdditionalPaths=./App/WinPython/python-3.7.2.amd64;
Also see https://portableapps.com/node/32861 for informatino about EclipsePortable
However, I was not able to set envirionment variables in the ini file EclipsePortable.ini.
)
You can use your system environment variable.
In Windows search the "User Account" parameter.
It must show your current account, search for "Environment variable".
Now you can set all the variables you need and they will be used by default in any terminal in Eclipse (restart Eclipse if it was running).
I have installed swig on my mac and it works in the console just fine. If I type swig -verison in terminal it spits out the version. Eclipse keeps telling me that it can't find swig. I am using the liquidfun library http://google.github.io/liquidfun/SWIG/html/index.html and it told me to put this export SWIG_BIN=$("which" swig) in .bashrc, which I did. This enviroment variable registers through terminal as well. Eclipse STILL won't grab swig properly. What the hell?
Bash reads .bash_profile, .bash_login or .profile. I don't expect the Eclipse process to load such a file (although I could be wrong) nor the SWIG_BIN variable to augment its search path for executables, but if you launch Eclipse from the shell, it should inherit the shell's environment variables.
Try running swig from eclipse using a full absolute path (the one that "which" returns).
The eclipse.ini file can set some startup parameters but perhaps not the path. There might be other eclipse startup files.
Another possibility is to add swig's directory to the path in a login script. (To test that, log out and back in, then start eclipse.)
I have followed the directions on PhoneGap's website and installed PhoneGap using the command prompt on Windows. However, after it has installed I try to run the command 'phonegap' and I get an error saying that 'phonegap' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. How do I fix this? Thanks.
You might need to add phonegap to your classpath variable, in order to let the prompt know where the phonegap .exe file is located.
Try writing the full path of the exe file, if that runs, then what I mentioned above should solve your problem.
EDIT
Just looked at the install page at phonegap.com (http://phonegap.com/install/). Very scarce on the information I would say.. But I still recommend investigating the above.
The Problem with enthronement variable for default path of your your current user. Follow the steps.
Click the Start menu and type "regedit" on the search box. This will launch the Windows Registry Editor program.
Enter to the following Registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings
Select the "Enabled" entry in the right side window. If this entry is there, right-click and select "New" followed by "DWORD Value." Name the value "Enabled."
Right-click the "Enabled" entry and click "Modify."
Change the number in the "Value" box to "1." This will re-enable WSH.
close all opened cmd windows and open a new window.
Just try to run CMD as administrator. Hopefully that will solve your problem. This solved mine.
Even though this is a very old question, I'm going to post a solution that worked for me on Windows Vista/7/8. The problem is that by default the command prompt in which the npm command is run is not elevated. So launch a command prompt as administrator and then run npm command. If it is not elevated then the environment variables wont be set properly.
In windows 7 platform, when the latest version of phonegap (3.4) installed it hosts in path like this:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm
Sometimes you should add this address to the PATH environment manually.
Go to System Properties-> Advanced -> Environment Variables
Select PATH variable from list and then edit it
I had Java working with Eclipse but I had to set up up Javac on the command line. I set the environment variables shown below but it doesn't work. Eclipse has now also stopped working.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok so I went a bit crazy and uninstalled/reinstalled loads of different jdk's. Finally one installed completely when I saved it directly to my C drive. I updated my environment variables for eclipse and for my command prompt and voila! Java is now working! I guess the problems with the space between Program Files will haunt me forever so I shouldn't save anything there anymore.
