MultiQC not running on windows

[adirot]

Hi!
I installed multiqc using git, and also using conda, I followed the installation instructions on the multiqc site.
I tried running "multiqc ." in my cmd but I receive the following error:

'multiqc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What is wrong?

OS: windows 10

See #863 - I guess you need to use the full path to MultiQC.

I should add something to the documentation about this.

I added some new documentation about this: https://multiqc.info/docs/#installing-on-windows

Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem and we can reopen this issue.

Thanks for the super quick update, this worked!
Weirdly, when I try to add the folder to the windows path, and run
python multiqc .
it gives the same error again... but it works if I put in the full path of multiqc...

No idea sorry, I haven't touched a windows machine in about 5 years so I'm out of practice 😀

That is OK, I saw that other windows users had the same problem. Maybe it's time for me to install Linux... :)
Anyway, great job on this program, it's really great
