    ##########

    For all the :ref:`popy_tools` to work, we must first update the internal paths on your computer and set some environment variables. To do this, we provide a :ref:`popy_env` tool that you run from a command prompt (or Powershell):-

    .. code-block:: console

        popy_env

    If the command is successful, the text in the command prompt should change from white to light blue (if in a |dosp|).

    You can achieve the same thing by opening the :ref:`open_a_popy_command_prompt` from your desktop or the Start Menu - the shortcut starts a new DOS prompt then automatically calls 'popy_env'.

    The settings initialised by :ref:`popy_env` are summarised by the :ref:`popy_info` tool.
