I am trying to install the Matlab API engine for python. Unfortunately I get an error with this command in the Matlab command window: system('python setup.py install') The error is:

Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft Store: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkID=2082640

Hi iSinnerman,

I'm having the same issue. Would you mind elaborating what you have done to solve the problem?

Solved. Just need to add Python to environment variables.

Please see my answer to another post on installing the Matlab API engine. I've found by using Python 3.6, the install worked as per the instructions. I haven't got this working with Python 3.7. I had to uninstall Python 3.7 and install Python 3.6 (64 bit as the Matlab install is also 64 bit).
