title: I installed scapy but it will not run by entering scapy in cmd prompt
body: <p>I installed scapy without any problems but when I try to run in cmd prompt by entering scapy and hitting enter, I get two error messages. I have attempted to add the usual paths but no success. Error message follows:</p>

  <p>Thank you all for any help offered, I sincerely appreciate it.</p>
  
  <p>This is and edited update, I discovered that on windows you need scapy 2 because it supports windows, and it works with python 2.7. Also I needed to install the following list of prerequisite software first with different install techniques.</p>
  
  <p>1: WinPcap, dnet, and pcap from .exe
  2:pyreadline, and pywin through pip install
  3:pyx through pip install using pyx==0.12.1  command
  4:gnu through manual install using cmd prompt after changing root directory ect.. as usual</p>
  
  <p>Then I used the from scapy.all import *   command in the python27 IDE.
  After this scapy was up and running from cmd prompt using scapy and hitting enter. Thank you all and I hope this post helps someone else. Note that scapy is best used with Linux systems. Back to my C++ books yall, peace.</p>
