Note the error:

python : The term 'python' 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.

its likely that python executable not set in the environment variable, set it in your environment variable or navigate to directory where python installed.
