Final answer:
The error indicates Python is not installed or not in PATH. To install Python, download it from the official website and follow the prompts, making sure to add Python to PATH. Verify installation with 'python --version' or 'python -m ensurepip'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The error message you are seeing, "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store," suggests that Python is either not installed or not properly set in the system's PATH environment variable. The correct method to install Python on your system is not listed among the options you've provided. However, I can guide you through the correct process of resolving this issue.
To install Python, you need to download it from the official Python website and follow the installation prompts, ensuring that you check the option to add Python to your system's PATH environment variable. Once installed, you can verify the installation by opening your command prompt or terminal and typing python --version or python -m ensurepip.
If you receive the above error from the Windows command prompt, you can install Python directly from the Microsoft Store or follow the mentioned steps to download it from the official website. The command python.exe -m venv myenv is used to create a virtual environment named 'myenv' after Python is already installed, not for installing Python itself.
