I noticed that the pip was in a directory with version 3.1.1 so I deleted that directory and checked again in the 3.10 directory. Now even pip cannot be found :

Yes, in the first comment I confirmed that pip was using 3.10 version of python. I reopened in a new window and retried with py -m pip install khoj-assistant when it worked. I think your documentation at https://github.com/debanjum/khoj#1-Install could be updated to ask to use "py -m pip install khoj-assistant" instead of "pip install khoj-assistant " which it currently says. still having trouble starting khoj will keep tinkering.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea for sure. I'll do that in a bit!

still having trouble starting khoj will keep tinkering.

Can you share what issue you're facing starting khoj? Maybe I (or others) can help you get started with using khoj faster

When I run py -m pip install khoj-assistant && khoj --no-gui , it first confirm khoj components are instantlled but then fails with :

'khoj' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Where does the khoj binary get installed ?

Ah, I see. The path at which khoj is installed isn't searched by default on your Windows.
So you'd need to either add the default path python pip packages are installed to your PATH or call khoj using the whole path to it. See my reply to this discussion for solution.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you

Found the khoj.exe in scripts folder and I was able to get to configure screen. Thanks for your help !
