FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Hi All,
while executing facing following error
code :
import sox
sox.file_info.sample_rate("C:\Temp\RecordedFile.wav")

Error:'sox' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
SoX could not be found!

If you do not have SoX, proceed here:
 - - - http://sox.sourceforge.net/ - - -

If you do (or think that you should) have SoX, double-check your
path variables.

This install of SoX cannot process .wav files.

Hi all,

It looks like the sox command line tool is not installed on your system. Please have a look at the Installation Instructions for how to resolve it.

closing, as this isn't a bug with pysox!
