installed with pip; mammoth not recognized #12

I followed the instructions at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mammoth to install mammoth. when I attempt to run it from the command line I get : mammoth not recognized.

I am not familiar with how to get this recognized.

Are you trying to use Mammoth on the command line or as a library?

Could you post exactly what you're trying to run, and the error you get?

Command line. It works fine as a library imported into a script. I am not familiar with what needs to be in place to run this package via command line. I did the pip install. O seem to be having a general issue with this package that may not be related to this specific package. Is there a documentation on line related to this general issue?

I think this has to do with using Canopy as my python environment. It seems to not be able to run anything in the user/scripts folder. forget about this.

Turns out windows does not like any script in the ./Scripts folder that is not an .exe

C:\Python27\Scripts>mammoth
'mammoth' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
