## ⚠️ Windows Users — Important (PATH Fix)

If you installed Python from the **Microsoft Store**, the `ai-splitter` command may not work immediately.

You may see:

```
'ai-splitter' is not recognized as an internal or external command
```

This happens because Microsoft Store Python does **not** add the Scripts folder to PATH.

### ✔ Fix

Add this folder to your PATH:

```
%LocalAppData%\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\Scripts
```

#### Steps:

1. Press **Win + R** → type `sysdm.cpl` → Enter  
2. Go to **Advanced** → **Environment Variables**  
3. Under **User variables**, select **Path**  
4. Click **Edit** → **New**  
5. Paste:

```
%LocalAppData%\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\Scripts
```

6. Save → close CMD → open new CMD  
7. Run:

```
ai-splitter
```

### ✔ Recommended Alternative (Best Practice)

Install Python from:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

Enable:

- **Add Python to PATH**  
- **Install for all users**
