title: Unable to set up Anaconda on Windows : Path problems
body: <p>I've been trying to setup Anaconda 1.8 on Windows 8.1 but cant get Windows to detect it for the life of me. I've tried adding it in the system path by editing the environment variables and adding <code>C:\Anaconda</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the Cygwin route and tried to edit <code>.bashrc</code>  and <code>.profile</code>, but the path doesn't seem to reflect the presence of Anaconda.</p>
  
  <p>Powershell output</p>
  
  <pre><code> PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; python
