symfony - symfony CLI is installed but path in environnement variable not working

Question

In the environnement variable, then in system variable, I edited the path and added

C:\Users\Tobe\symfony-cli_windows_amd64\symfony.exe

then I saved it and exit with all the OK messages. I restarted my console just in case too.

But in a console I still can't use "symfony" command line, but symfony CLI is working if I use the complete command :

C:\Users\Tobe\symfony-cli_windows_amd64\symfony.exe

What is wrong?

I tried to install symfony CLI with scoop, but I couldn't install scoop because the commandes in the quick start didn't worked (

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser # Optional: Needed to run a remote script the first time

irm get.scoop.sh | iex

)

Both

Set-ExecutionPolicy

and

irm

were not recognized.

I got the same problem, and the unique solution i founded is to make an powershell permanent alias with the full path to "symfony"..
