Hi,

I have just downloaded GAM. but once I enter my admin email address it asks me if I want to create a new project, and as soon as I click Y it tells me: "Gam is not recognized as an internal or external command".

Could anyone help me out with this?

B Z,

Where did you install GAM? The default is C:\GAM.
Exit Command Prompt/PowerShell
Go to Control Panel/System/Advanced system settings.../Environment Variables.../System variables
Click Path and then click Edit
Verify that C:\GAM (or the installation directory you chose) is on the list; if not, add it
Save and close out of Control panel
Start Command Prompt or PowerShell
Type: gam version
If this stiil gives you an error, reverify the above steps
Do the following commands, follow directions carefully in each step.
gam create project
gam oauth create
gam user <us...@domain.com> check serviceaccount
Use a non-admin user email address in the previous step.
