New installation won't run Mix on Windows
Hi, I just started trying to dive into Elixir today and I’m sure I’ll have lots of basic questions.
I’m on Windows 10 and primarily using the terminal inside VS Code (although I tried the PowerShell terminal and got a different error there).
When I try to use any Mix commands in my terminal, I’m getting:
mix : The term ‘mix’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify
that the path is correct and try again.
I let Elixir add everything to my PATH that it wanted to add when I was installing it. When I open up my system environment variables and look under Path, I see “%USERPROFILE%.mix\escripts” is there.
Please help!

When you open a normal cmd console can you use mix normally?
If so, close all vs code windows you have opened and run it again, normally when you add new env variables vscode does not recognize them until you close and open again it
