Install MATLAB Engine for Python

Question

I need to install MATLAB Engine for Python to call python functions

I tried the steps on Help
I'm using MATLAB 2015a

I can't run setup.py from CMD

in the Help instructions they asked me to find setup.py on this dir:

   C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\matlabroot\extern\engines\python

but when I searched on matlab dir I found it on this dir :
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\extern\engines\python

I used both of these Codes to install this engine from CMD (as Admin)

cd C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\extern\engines\python
python setup.py install

I tried Python27 and Python34 here is the problem with 64-bit version CMD returns error when I use "Python " on python setup.py install error is: 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command

then I tried setup.py install it returns this error:

SystemExit: usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]

or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]

or: setup.py --help-commands

or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

when I tried both of these codes with Python 32-bit it returns:

error: 32bit python does not work with 64bit MATLAB. Please check your version of Python

First problem (error: no commands supplied) with 64 bit version — Amro Samy

Have you tried specifying the full path to the 64bit version of python.exe? Like C:\[path_to_python_dir]\python.exe setup.py install? (replace [path_to_python_dir] with the path to the directory where python.exe is found). — TheBlackCat

Specify the full path to the 64bit version of python.exe. In the commandline:

C:\[path_to_python_dir]\python.exe setup.py install

Replace [path_to_python_dir] with the path to the directory where python.exe is found.

To call Python from your operating system prompt, either add the full path to Python to your PATH environment variable, or include the full path when you call the Python interpreter.
