pyenv on windows - not recognized as internal or external command

Question

I have a project were I have t use python 2.7 instead of 3.x. In order to do this, I installed pyenv-win on my windows machine but its not working.

I followed the steps mentioned here but still getting in the cmd

pyenv is not recognized as an internal or external command

I am wondering is it becaue I put this %USERPROFILE% as is without having it as a separate environment variable ? And if this is the case what exactly should this %USERPROFILE% be ?

Update

• I added USERPROFILE as a SYSTEM VARIABLE I made it the link to my user on the PC i.e. C:/Users/Anonymous
• I added %PYENV%\bin to user path
• I added %PYENV%\shims to user path

Now if I run pyenv --version I get pyenv WITHOUT version specified.

Answer 1

I've solved it using cmd pip install pyenv-win==3.1.1 --target %USERPROFILE%\.pyenv --upgrade after several failed attempts to manage it via power shell or manually.
