setting up environment variables in Play! framewor

Question

I am trying to get the Play! framework up and running. After I extracted Play! version 2.3.0 to C:\Play and adding that directory (C:\Play) to my path in 'Environment Variables' (separated form the other paths with a ;), I tried running it with the command "Play new foobar" and I keep getting the error "'Play' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I have looked at a few possible fixes to this on here

Configuration Variables in Play! Framework

Setting an environment variable for play framework

Adding an environment variable for the Play! Framework

(The third was the most similar but that solution is not working for me.)

Answer 1

In Play 2.3+ play command is replaced by activator.
