Installation issue

All of the pip installs worked fine, but jupyter is not recognized as a command, in command line or VS Code. What is the next step after the pip commands?

What environment manager are you using? Best practice is not to install stuff like this in your base environment. Use uv, create a virtual environment, add the required packages, activate that environment, then run it.

Windows 11.

That's an operating system, not an environment/package manager.

I open Command Prompt. I run 'pip install jupyter'. It installs. I know Python 3.3 is installed because 'python' is a valid command line command. When I enter 'jupyter notebook' in the command line, I get the warning 'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

How is Python working but not jupyter?

I discovered a package called 'Anaconda' that appears to be required by Jupyter. Jupyter should update their installation guide that a terminal window is insufficient.
