Hi @shashankinfy I think this might be related to the Salesforce CLI not being part of the PATH environment variable in your machine. Can you verify the cli install path is part of PATH ? Also, are you installing the cli using npm or the installer ?

[shashankinfy]

Can you please guide me about this path? And no I am not installing using npm.

Hello,
If it is showing that CLI is not installed Then the possible is you haven't set the path or set the wrong path.
to SET PATH

press Start Button
Type Environment
Go to System Environment setting
Advance
Environment Variables
there are two option user variable for admin and system variable
go to system variable
Double click on Path
Add new row and paste the path of Salesforce cli in my case it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Salesforce CLI\bin"
also set the path of java JDk if it is not set. in my case path of java is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin"
now click ok again ok and now you are done
now to check that your path is set type "win+R" type "CMD" and enter " echo %PATh% "
if you find your new path here then your path is successfully set
tip- If still not showing path try restarting the system.

@pratikshekokar I am also facing the same issue, after setting the path 10 times it is still showing path not specified.

[09archanakumari]

@Akash-Kandwal remove it from user variable and keep the path only in system variable that is how it worked for me .Give it a shot.
