What do you mean by 'checking on cmd'?

I would install it somewhere like c:\python364, then it is easier to 
find than having it buried in its default installation path (I assume 
this is Windows).

If it's installed properly, then python.exe should be present in 
c:\python364, and you can start it with:

   c:\python364\python

or:

   c:
   cd \python364
   python

I assume you can open a command prompt. If not in python364, then 
substitute the actual installation path.

Or click Start, and type python.exe into the search box. If it finds it, 
click it.
