It will showing me above error.Well,I know this is related to System Path but i am unable to find out the System Path of hyper in Windows.I also install hyper in my kali system and as expected hyper rolling like a pro Linux.

Error Message:

D:\Sample>hyper i hyper-whimsy

You need to update your environment variables. If you have Chocolatey you can type 'refreshenv' in your CLI (hyper or cmd)

refreshenv is nice cause you don't have to restart, but you will have to type it into each new terminal instance until the pc is restarted and the env var updated.

EDIT: here's a copy of refreshenv.cmd

it needs to be accessible by your path. if you don't know what that means, look it up. if you're lazy, drop it in 'c:\windows', but that's never advisable

Yo.
Thanks @diVineProportion

So this isn't taken care of when it's installed then is what you're saying?

It is. But windows caches the PATH variable, so you need a system restart or refreshenv for it to work @gmariani

Gotcha

See https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/2823 for the issue that tracks a fix so you won't need to reboot in the future 👍
