Where is this executable?

Do you have c:\python39\Scripts in your PATH environment variable ?

I think this will depend largely on how you have installed python (e.g. native, msys, conda, etc), but I can take a guess. As @rasjani pointed out, you might want to check in C:\python39\Scripts, or perhaps C:\python39\bin. Wherever it resides you will need to add that to the PATH environment variable in order to use the command cmake-format in the terminal.

The executable does not exist on my computer. I searched for it in my whole drive.

There is not a cmake-format executable there. This is all I have:

C:\python39\bin

This does not exist.

I think this might be related to a bug in pip. Try the following pip uninstall cmake-format and then pip install --force-reinstall cmakelang[YAML] and see if that helps.

I don't think the executable will be called cmake-format.exe. I'm not sure what pip and setup-tools do on windows, but maybe it will be a .bat?

Oh, Thanks! Running the commands helped!
