pip giving error when trying to install packages Python 3.10 - python

I have been having issues with pip on Python 3.10 attempting to install a package gives me the following error
pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again. At line:1 char:1
I have tried reinstalling pip and I have also tried reinstalling python.

This error shows up on windows when one tries to use pip in the command prompt. To solve this error on windows, you must declare path variable by following these steps:
Step 1 - Right click on My Computer or This PC
Step 2 - Click on Properties
Step 3 - Click on Advanced System Settings
You will find a section called system variables.
Click on Path from the list of variable and values that shows up there.
After clicking on path click edit.
You will find a New button in the pop up.
Click that and paste the location of the python35 or python36 folder (The location you specified while installing python) followed by “\Scripts” there.
For me its “C:\Users\a610580\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32”
so I type “C:\Users\a610580\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts”
Click Ok to close all windows and restart your command prompt.
I repeat - restart your command prompt.

This error is given by Windows, saying that pip is not found. It happened because Python isn't in your shell path, If you just installed Python, logout your user and log back in see if it resolves, if not, Python is not in your PATH.
For me, the most convenient way is reinstalling Python and checking every checkbox that says something like "Add python to PATH/environment variable" in the installer. You can also follow the other answer to add PATH manually.

i am unable to run pip

before describing my problem i would like to also mention that while the first time intallation i did not check the path option that appears and neither did i check the option for environment variable.
what the problem is :
when i try to give any pip command in my command prompt it says that
pip is not a recognized internal or external command"
when i tried giving a py command it said
can't find a default python
pip files are missing from the script folder
what I have tried
i have tried reinstalling and checking all the checkboxes that are available in the modifier
(result: i ended up at the point i started)
i have tried using the repair option and then using the modify option. still to no avail.
i have tried copying the bootstrap of pip, converted into .py form and moving it to scripts folder.
i have tried using the command py -m pip install
i referred to the help available on the official site
what i need
i need the complete instruction as detailed as possible to what i can do to correct the horrible horrible mistake i have made.
Looks like your Python installation along with pip are not correctly configured in the PATH environment variable.
Firstly, you should find the paths for both installations.
If you haven't changed the default directory while installing Python, the paths should look like in the example below. First one is the directory with python.exe, and the Scripts directory is the one where pip.exe is present.
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
Secondly, you should edit the PATH variable by adding those found paths to it.
Type "Edit environment variables for your account" in search, and open it.
System properties windows shall open, after that click the Environment variables... button located at the lower right corner. Next, in the User variables for user at the top part of the window, select Path and then click Edit....
In the newly opened window, click the button labeled New and then add both of the previously found paths.
This is how it should look at the end.
After you have added the paths, you are done. Restart your code editor or you may restart your PC to be sure.

Compiling python project

this is my first time on posting a thread on stackoverflow, but I have used this many times in the past. I am having a problem when compiling my python files. I have looked many times on here and on other sites on how to do this and I keep getting the same answers. For some reason, on my computer, I cannot run/install pip. Whenever I try to install pip by using the python command, it is not recognized. I saw a thread on here about using 'py' instead of 'python', this is accepted as a command but when I try to install pip it just errors. I have installed python several times and have also repaired it several times, but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to stackoverflow!
this is an image i took from a website if you would like to use PIP
the website: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-you-can-run-pip-from-the-command-line
I took a look at the directory that you specified in your comment. Pip is not an executable file there, but rather is python source code. What I found that worked and allowed me to run Pip successfully was to import Pip as a module within the system Python environment. Then run Python specifying Pip as a loaded module using the -m flag to call pip as an executable with its own arguments (e.g. C:\Users>python -m pip --version). The steps to set this up are included below:
Step 1: Verify that Python is installed and is added to your PATH variable
From cmd, run the command: C:\Users> where python. You should be returned a file path to the executable for Python.
If instead you receive an error message that says the following: "INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s)." that means that Python is not added to your $PATH variable (See below for details on how to configure your PATH variable.
Step 2: Add Pip source code as a module within Python
Run python from the cmd: C:\Users> python
Run the command import pip within the python shell:
Run the command exit() to return to the cmd from the Python shell.
Step 3: Validate that pip can be used as a module within Python
Run the following command to check Pip's version as a validation that Pip and Python are configured correctly: C:\Users> python -m pip --version
Validate that you are returned a version number
Configuring PATH environment variable (Windows 10)
From the start menu search box, type "edit the system environment variables".
Open the application that is returned (should pop open the control panel).
Click the button entitled 'Environment Variables'
If you have a variable defined as 'PATH' already, click the edit button, then click 'new' in the following dialog box. Specify the path to your Python executable ( C:\Users\jakes\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages). Click 'Ok' and then 'Apply.'
If you don't already have a 'PATH' variable defined, click 'new' and define a name of 'PATH' and add in the file path to the Python executable as the variable's value.
Close any active Command Prompts! After making changes to your PATH variable,you will need to close any active sessions in order to allow the update PATH variable to be propagated within the session.
Open a new Command Prompt window and run the command: C:\Users> where python to verify that the your changes were made correctly, and that they have fully propagated within the system.

Pip Python Installation Issues

I'm pretty new to the community, and new to python. I know the basics. But now I'm trying to download third party modules via pip but everything I do regarding pip displays an error. I know that pip comes with python seeing as the pip file is there.
I am running python 3.6 and windows 10. I have downloaded pip off the internet also but when I try to run the program it says already downloaded. The first time I ran it it said that it was downloading and successfully downloaded so I'm kind of lost.
Thanks!
Sounds like it's already properly installed. pip is a program called from a system terminal, not from a Python prompt. Open up a command prompt and type pip -h see what happens. If this does not print out the help page on how to use pip, and instead you get an error to the effect of:
"pip" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
You then need to point Windows where to find the program (pip.exe) by adding your Python scripts folder C:\...\Python36-32\Scripts\ to your environment PATH variable. To do this, open the Start menu and search for "environment variables". Open the dialogue and find one named PATH (case doesn't matter). If it doesn't exist, create it. Edit the value and add the file path to the scripts folder to the end using ; as a separator.
As per your comment, if you are getting an access denied windows error this answer from another question may help you.
You need need to be sure either your powershell is being run as administrator, or by creating a virtual environment.
The Installing Packages docs have a great overview, and instructions.

Under Windows, pip is stored in the Python scripts folder, e.g. "C:\Python27\Scripts".
How to run pip?
Open a Command line by pressing [WIN]+R and typing cmd.exe.
Then navigate tho the Scrips folder of your Python installation by typing cd "C:\Python27\Scripts" (Or where else you've installed Python) into the command line.
To run pip now type pip.exe into the command line. This should print a help message.
If so, you can use pip install package_name to install a Python package.
What I recommend:
Navigating to the Scripts folder every time is very annoying, so you can tell Windows where your pip.exe is stored.
Open the control panel, search for "environment variables" and choose edit environment variables.
When a little window is opened, press the button "Environment variables" on the bottom.
Now, double-click the entry "Path", click "New" and enter "C:\Python27\Scripts" (If this is your intallation path, see above). Close all windows with clicking "OK", you're done!
Now opening a commandline and installing through pip should work.
Hope this helps!

I can't install 'pip' for python

I'm going trough the book Learn Python The Hard Way and i need to install pip.(ex46,ex47)
So i saved get-pip.py on my computer and in powershell i did :
PS C:\Users\Toto\pip> python Get-pip.py
Downloading/unpacking pip
Installing collected packages: pip
Successfully installed pip
Cleaning up...
but then when i try: PS C:\Users\Toto\pip> pip
i get this error:
pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the s
pelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ pip
+ ~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (pip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
C:\Python27\Scripts\ is already on my path.
I can't figure this out. If some one could please help me.
note: i'm on windows 8 and this is with python 2.7
Whenever I've installed pip on my Windows machine, it installs to my Python's Scripts folder:
c:\Python34\Scripts
So to get pip to run on the command line, I had to add that path to my PATH environment variable. You can get to those settings by doing the following (assuming Windows 7 or newer):
Right click My Computer and choose Properties
Go to Advanced system settings
Click on the Environment Variables button
Double-click the PATH (or Path) variable listed under System variables
Add c:\Python34\Scripts to the end of the list of other paths making sure that it is separated from the previous entry with a semi-colon
Restart your shell and try running pip. If it still doesn't work, you need to find out where pip got installed. In my Scripts folder, I have a pip.exe file. If you do not, then adding the Scripts folder to your path won't help. You'll have to figure out where it got installed and add that path instead.
You can copy zklib in the odoo server folder and restart the odoo server and it should work.
For windows users If the above solution does not help then make sure your python folder is in the right place to do so, go to the windows search bar and type python then right-click open location folder and copy the path and paste it in the environment variables
for more explanation check the following [link ]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4yJi-cpwWk
What you have to do is you have to first give your Python path then you have to give your Scripts path.
First delete that Scripts path and now click on new button copy the python path and paste it.
Second , click on the new button and copy the Scripts path and paste it.
Now, I think your problem will be solved.
