Windows can't find localstack

Question

I have some trouble to start and run localstack. I can install localstack relatively easy with "pip install localstack". This worked for me without problems. After the installation I tried to start localstack with "localstack start" but then windows tells me it can't find localstack.

The command "localstack" is either misspelled or could not be found.

I searched a lot and found out there are some similar problems. In one issue I found something that could eventually work for me. In this question. Because I never worked with python this is a little bit confusing for me. I tried this answer. I switched into the python scripts folder and run the command "py localstack start". Here it is interesting, that I get an error again, but this time windows recognizes localstack.

This here is the error

How can I start localstack just by typing "localstack start"?
