Problem installing Scitools with "Pyzo"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
in the Install Guide it says:

"Use the --prefix option if you want to install SciTools into a different 
location. However, in this case you also have to update the PATH and the 
PYTHONPATH environment variables to reflect this directory."

QUESTION1:
Where do i change PATH and PYTHONPATH (what are these?)
in my case i have installed "pyzo" here C:\pyzo2013b...
QUESTION2:
where do i put "--prefix"

-Can you make an example what the command would be in my case in "cmd"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
nothing

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
the installation fails also via "pip"
see attached file

Pyzo is able to install Python packages the normal way. I recommend to check 
out the source code or pack out the tar file and follow Pyzo's instruction for 
installing a pure Python package whose source code is in some folder.

The particular problem you have is that matplotlib is not available. That is 
really strange, Pyzo is for scientific computing with Python and matplotlib is 
a core component of any Python scientific computing environment.

The syntax error you get is really strange.

The message with the --prefix option is not relevant in your case as you want 
to install SciTools in the default location, i.e., the location where Pyzo 
wants packages to be. However, it is annoying to work with Python if you don't 
know PATH and PYTHONPATH are (these are environment variables and can be set 
interactively in Windows - google for "MS-DOS PATH", "PYTHONPATH" and 
"environment variables").
