Yes my Lord - thou should.

Answer 2

I went ahead and asked the "Emojic 8-ball" for you. Does Eiffel Tower and Truck answer your question?

(but seriously, the answer depends mostly on how inconvenient it is for you if it isn't in the path. Depending on your tools it may not be necessary...just try using it and your tools; you'll figure out if you need to do anything soon enough).

Answer 3

I am having trouble with this too. I know that you should never put spaces in the path, you want everything in the correct folder. I watched a video on this but it was very fast and I did not grasp how to do it. when I installed Python 2 which is what I must use for the class . when I installed Python I made the command prompt to be included but not sure how to set path to use it properly. when you learn this can you help me somehow online?
