Create Django Project template using cookiecutter on Windows

Question

I am trying to create cookiecutter project template in windows. As per the instructions on the official site: https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io, I installed cookiecutter using pip.

Next step mentioned on site is to use following command to create project template using cookiecutter.

cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git

I also did that on my windows cmd but it's showing error: 'cookiecutter' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Can somebody suggest me a way around?

Make sure that:

pip is properly installed (see also official documentation)
you have added to your PATH %PYTHON_HOME% and %PYTHON_HOME%\Scripts

Then, any pip install program should be available.
