Initializing a DVC repository throws an error

Question

I'm trying to use DVC and I'm following this kaggle tutorial as explained in this notebook . Whenever I try to use the command ! dvc init, I get the following error:

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

I've installed and reinstalled dvc. I'm using python 3.6 and windows 8.1.

Answer 1

Even after manually installing dvc I ran into this error. Closing and reopening the command prompt resolved it. Specifically, since I was using the Anaconda command prompt, I had to close the prompt and Anaconda, and then open Anaconda and a new prompt.
