Python not found

sapperlon

New to rapid miner and Python. When first tried Execute Python it said "Python not found, Failed to detect Python at the given path or environment name:". But  I have downloaded Python 3.8 and Anacoda but still get these warnings. Spent hours to fix this, so frustrating. Could anyone help me ?

Make sure that your Python Scripting Settings (in Preferences) point to the correct Python (use Conda settings). If you defined any environments you can select Python from that particular environment and press the "Test" button. Also, I am not certain that RM can call Python 3.8 (I need to test it but I recall having problems with it). I am currently using Anaconda with Python 3.7 and 3.6 on both Windows and Linux and not having any issues.

I'm having the same issue. In my case, RapidMiner isn't even recognising the conda environments in the drop down menu of the python scripting preferences. Any idea on the reason or solution for this?

Make sure Anaconda is on the path, also older versions of RapidMiner did not recognise Anaconda environments, in which case you had to navigate to the environment folder and select Python from there.

Adding conda to the path helped! I referred to the below link to do so. Thank you!
