First check

I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn’t find it.
I searched the FastAPI documentation, with the integrated search.
I already searched in Google “How to X in FastAPI” and didn’t find any information.

Description

I have installed uvicorn from py -m pip install uvicorn, when I run uvicorn I get this error.

'uvicorn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

How can I make it to work, what am I doing wrong?

Could you please help

I’d recommend trying this in a virtualenv (or any other dependency manager like poetry or pipenv)

This is how I ask people to setup their projects on my tutorials:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install uvicorn
uvicorn main:app --reload

This is a path issue probably. Make sure uvicorn exists in {PYTHON_INSTALLATION_DIR}\Scripts. If it exists, add to your PATH environment variable that directory (https://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/tasks/fot-addpath.html)
