Cannot run uvicorn command on windows despite installing it and adding in path variables

As the title, I have installed uvicorn using the powershell, and added the environment variable. But whenever I run the command, I get the same error. I know I must be doing something small and stupid, but following every answer on SO tells me the same thing, and I have no leads at all.

Solution 1:

I know this is an old question but to anyone still looking for a solution if you're on windows at least.

• Do pip install uvicorn, then do pip uninstall uvicorn, this will give you the directory location of where uvicorn is installed.
• Type n to not uninstall, you are just getting the path. Go to the location in your explorer where it was installed, for me, it was in users/AppData/roaming/Python/Python37/site-packages.
• Copy the "uvicorn" and "uvicorn-X.XX.Xdist-info" folders, then go to users/AppData/roaming/Python/Python37/Scripts and copy the "uvicorn.exe".
• You are going to paste all three of these items to something like path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\Scripts".
• After this, go back to your terminal and try "uvicorn main:app --reload".

And it should work now.
