It's not the answer, I mean there are a lot of shell commands that do not run on Jupiter and shows error. How can I run them – Ahmed Alsonaffi Dec 23 '21 at 17:17

Can you run python3 --version. I am assuming you are using Windows. Open your command line and run the command too. If you still get the same response, it means you did not add python to path while installing. Did you install using Anaconda?
If you want to add python to path, just simply follow this link. It's self-explanatory. Let me know in the comment section if you still have issues.

This means you did not add python to your virtual environment. There are two ways out of this. Add the python path to your environment variable manually or reinstall python and click on add to path when the installation screen pops up – Curious Dec 23 '21 at 10:46
