title: Python NLTK Setting up environmental variables - Windpws
body: <p>Currently, I need to setup the environment variables such that NLTK can find the relevant file path to my downloaded Stanford module package automatically. </p>
  
  <p>Windows 8.1, I go to System properties > Advanced > environment variables, but I'm not sure what I'm doing here is correct. I have the needed Stanford files downloaded in a folder on my desktop, and tried to setup the environment variables to go to its path, but it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>An image of the environment variables is here: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uWXmF.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">What I have right now</a></p>
  
  <p>Anyone know how to set this up correctly and then test if it is working? Been following this guide to little success: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13883277/stanford-parser-and-nltk/34112695#34112695">Stanford Parser and NLTK</a></p>
