Powershell or Git Bash:

git clone https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win.git "$HOME/.pyenv"

cmd.exe:

git clone https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win.git "%USERPROFILE%\.pyenv"

Finish the installation

1. Add PYENV and PYENV_HOME to your Environment Variables

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PYENV',$env:USERPROFILE + "\.pyenv\pyenv-win\","User")
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PYENV_HOME',$env:USERPROFILE + "\.pyenv\pyenv-win\","User")

2. Now add the following paths to your USER PATH variable in order to access the pyenv command. Run the following in PowerShell or Windows 8/above Terminal:

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('path', $env:USERPROFILE + "\.pyenv\pyenv-win\bin;" + $env:USERPROFILE + "\.pyenv\pyenv-win\shims;" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('path', "User"),"User")

3. Close and reopen your terminal app and run pyenv --version

• If the return value is the installed version of pyenv, then continue to Step 4
• If you receive a "command not found" error, ensure all environment variables are properly set via the GUI: This PC → Properties → Advanced system settings → Advanced → Environment Variables... → PATH
• If you receive a "command not found" error and you are using Visual Studio Code or another IDE with a built in terminal, restart it and try again

4. Now run the pyenv rehash from home directory
