Problems with install Mrtg

Question

Im trying to configure Mrtg on my Windows machine. I'm following the mrtg guide

http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-nt-guide.en.html.

but i get this:

perl is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

when I enter this:

perl mrtg

I've tried to follow the youtube video too, but I get the same error.

Answer 1

It looks like you either failed to install perl, or failed to make it available in the %PATH% variable of your PC. Note the instruction saying

You might want to make sure that the Perl binary directory is listed in your system path.

As for how to put a program into the path of a Windows machine, that's not very difficult to find with a bit of searching online.
