When asking for help it pays to be as specific as possible.

Where did you get the installer? (There are several sources
you could have used, all slightly different)

When you say "it says that it's just not showing up" I'd be
amazed if that is actually what it says. The exact wording
is important because that tells us the exact error message
(and by doing a search may lead us to the exact cause).

When you say you added "it to the path". What did you add to what?
Exact code you typed in please? Or describe the process you used.
Tell us the folder you tried to add.

Finally how are you trying to run Python? From the GUI via an icon?
Or from a command prompt window? Or running it via the Run dialog?
And what command are you using? The full path? the program name
(exact name?) or the py.exe launcher thats recommended on Windows?

Be specific. Tell us exactly what you did and exactly what
the computer did in response.
