You need to install q to use developer. q cannot be installed by pip.

Instructions are here: https://code.kx.com/q/learn/install/

Q1 Figured it out. Steps are as follows:

1. C:\q\w64\q

2. setx QHOME "C:\q"

3. setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\q\w64"

4. click install file under C:\developer-1.5.4-windows\developer-1.5.4-windows

5. C:\developer\config\config.bat

6. C:\q\w64\q C:\developer\launcher.q_

You have not exported PATH so q is available on it.

See: https://code.kx.com/q/learn/install/#step-5-edit-your-profile


setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\q\w64"

Or instead to make a permanent change to the existing PATH environment variable on windows you can follow this guide https://chlee.co/how-to-setup-environment-variables-for-windows-mac-and-linux/
