Troubleshooting

Check Ghostscript installation

Open cmd (command prompt). Run gswin64c.

Output will show **GS> ** along with version of Ghostscript.

If this command is not recognized, check ghostscipt installation path in C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs10.0.40.

If this folder is present and gswin64c is present inside bin folder in above path, add path to environmental variable.

Steps:

Right click This PC. Open Properties. Window on right side will show up.

Alternatively, open this from Settings/Control Panel > System.

From there, open Advanced System Settings as shown in screenshot above.

From Advanced Tab, choose Environment Variables. Now click on path and click Edit.

Now click New and add path to ghsotscript bin folder there (C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs10.0.40/bin) and click OK. The path will appear like below. Now check ghostscript installation again from command prompt again. It will show the version details.
