Hi Annabel, I don't have experience with arches and windows, but it just 
sounds like you need to let Windows know where to find your python 
installation.  The standard python location is C:\Python27.  Check to see 
if that's where python has been installed, and if not, you can find the 
path by opening IDLE (just type IDLE into the start menu search) and using 
these commands:

import sys
print sys.exec_prefix

reference (2nd answer) 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6767283/find-where-python-is-installed-if-it-isnt-default-dir

Once you know where python is installed, follow this to create a new 
environment variable named PYTHONPATH and set it to reference the python 
installation.

Here 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25153802/how-to-set-python-path-in-windows-7
 
is a good summary of how to do it.  To get to the Environment Variables, 
you can just type env in the windows start menu.

Be sure not to delete any existing path variables, and good luck!

 1) Made a folder called 'arches web' and  downloaded all the dependencies 
 in it. Installation for the programs was done from the same location.
 2) Downloaded PostgreSQL 9.3 and PostGIS 2.x, GEOS, Python 2.7.6

 3) One is required to install virtualednv through pip only and this pip 
 has to be  downloaded with python. 

 Now, although python is available on our system, we don't have its 
 path. We tried using get pip as a command in python command line. We tried 
 using the same in windows command prompt. We also tried reinstalling python 
 and calling it out through window powershell. Only to get the following 
 error: ' The term python is not recognised as the name of a cmdlet, 
 function, script file or operable function.' My understanding tells me it 
 has to do with the location we've chosen for our files.

 Would appreciate some help in how to proceed

Hello Everyone,
Writing in from New Delhi India. We are trying to install Arches to be able 
to upload an inventory of 1070 Heritage Buildings in the Mughal walled city 
of Shahjahanabad in Delhi. Have posted my query on the help we need with 
installing Arches and hope to have it resolved soon. Would be interested in 
communicating with anyone in Delhi who has already installed Arches.

 Hello all, ... and welcome in particular to those who have joined the 
 Arches Discussion Forum recently.

 This online group was initially set up for the project team, and has just 
 recently been opened up as the public, so some of us haven't met before. 
 How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were 
 meeting in the real world? If that sounds good to you, reply to this thread 
 and share with the group some or all of the following:

- what is your interest in Arches?


- where in the world are you working?

 and, just to make it a bit more fun,

- what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your 
view?

 I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better!


 Ed
