Hey everyone! I'm really new to Python and I'm excited to learn it for a better future (I'm 14 right now). However, I'm having a tough time even downloading it. I watched the video 'Python Full Course for Beginners' from Programming with Mosh and followed his instructions, but I'm getting an error: 'pyhton' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What should I do to get started?

You might not have checked the 'Add Python to PATH' option when you installed it. That can be the culprit! Double-check that box next time you install.
If you're on Windows, have you considered using Anaconda? It can simplify the installation process. Just curious, do you think it's the same as the standard Python installation?
Is it the same? Does it work like regular Python?
Glad to hear everything's working now! Just remember, even experienced developers trip over typos sometimes. Keep at it, and have fun learning Python! It's a great skill to have, even if you don't become a full-time developer. And don’t hesitate to explore communities like r/learnpython for more help!
First off, make sure you're spelling Python correctly! I noticed you typed 'pyhton' in your post—small typos can really mess things up in programming. Also, check your PATH variable; there's plenty of info online on how to do that based on your operating system. Did Mosh give you specific installation instructions? If so, you might want to watch that part again and try following the steps from the beginning.
Yeah, I think it's just a spelling issue. I had a similar problem when I first started!
I think I did check that one at the bottom!
