First i couldn't install the latest verison 1.2.9 had kept getting an error with the setup.py file looked like this =

rectified with this=
"pip3 install -U video-to-ascii==1.2.8 --install-option="-with-audio" "
used the "--install option" because a simple "-with--audio" didnt work.

So far so good, right?

Here is where i am having trouble

i try to use it with this video-to-ascii -f ava.mp4 and it produces error code=
"'video-to-ascii' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

What am i doing wrong, i mean did it not install? if i try to check using
video-to-ascii --version
it produces the same error code=
"'video-to-ascii' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
and I'm an idiot really i dont know of another way to verify a correct install, and I tried
start video-to-ascii....... [used "......." for simplicity] it says that there is no file path for that... please help me
