How do you use pip to install Pygame/Pygame Zero with Command Prompt?

I tried using pip to install Pygame/Pygame Zero via Command Prompt, but it didn't work as expected. Here's what happened.
So basically, I tried using the command python -m pip install -U pip but it didn't work as expected. I received a message saying:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
I realized this would be useless, as I already downloaded pip with Python.
Then what I tried to do was use the commands pip install pygame and pip install pgzero but that didn't work either. Both commands resolved to this:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Can you help me?

Pip automatically comes when downloading Python.
It can be dowloaded using this link.
After installing Python, you can check if pip is installed by entering 'pip' in your command prompt.
If you receive the same message as before, use this command:
py -m ensurepip --upgrade
Let me know if you need any more help !
Following your update:
I would suggest consulting this link to get started using Pygame. It says to use: python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user My personal suggestion would be to start learning Python before goin straight into a library like Pygame. You should start from the basic with tutorials on Youtube.

Cannot install pip, it cannot get virtalenv

I am trying to install Pip as described here
When I run py get-pip.py I get the following error:
ERROR: pipenv 2018.11.26 requires virtualenv, which is not installed.
And if then i try to run pip -v, it says command not found
I dont know what could be the problem here. I ran the command in command prompt.
Edit: I also tried running command prompt in administrator mode. I am using py synonim for Windows 10

The link you provided says to use python get-pip.py instead of py get-pip.py. Maybe you can try this out.

Try typing this if you have single python version installed installed:
sudo apt install python*-pip
Here * can be either omitted or replaced by python version. Or if you think that you have pip, but it doesn't appear try running it as your current python module:
python* -m pip
As well as above, the * can be either omitted or replaced by python version

did you check if python is in your PATH environment ?
Python 3.8 Installation
and Did you check if you run it in the powershell?
pip Install in Windows 10 with Powershell
check your installation, I made it with a virtual machine.

Issue installing pip and pandas

I am trying to install Pandas with Pip and am running into some strange issues. Command prompt reported that pip is an unrecognized command. I thought that was strange, but decided to definitively remedy that by installing pip with the following commands:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
I received the report that an existing version of pip was found, uninstalled, and the new version was installed. I then proceeded to run
pip install pandas
And I was informed that 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I then added to the path environment and the issue is still persisting. It's worth noting that I installed Python 3.6 by installing Anaconda. What am I missing here?

The pip command is not found because it's not in your path.
You should add the following to your PATH environment variable:
;%PYTHON_HOME%\;%PYTHON_HOME%\Scripts\
A simple Google search should help you find how to change environment variables for you version of Windows.
For example, see this page from the Java documentation.

Try the following
C:\Users\Username>cd C:\Python27\Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip freeze
If you're using a different Python version, replace Python27, with your version of Python.

On windows you can use !pip install pandas in your Python program without having to open the windows/anaconda prompt.
But as others said, pip is not in your active directory and you would have to open the anaconda prompt or go to the library where pip is installed

pip is not recognized as an internal or external command in windows7

I have added the below lines in the path variable on my Windows 7 machine:
C:\Users\sample\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32;
C:\Users\sample\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages;
C:\Users\sample\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
But still it shows
pip is not recognized as an internal or external command
Thanks,

I ran into an issue with an installation where only running the pip module as a python script in command line worked. pip install [pkg] would fail but the following worked.
python -m pip install [pkg]

Uninstall Python completely.
Reinstall using the "executable installer".
Tick the box to add Python to your path variable.
Restart computer (just in case).
Don't do anything else manually.
Run pip.

If you still have issues after trying Exprator's solution, try adding PIP to Path variable

I had the same problem so I tried using - py -m pip install [pkg]
and it worked

unable to install modules using pip

I newly installed python 2.7.10 which came with pre installed pip python installer.
I'm unable to install any python modules using pip in python
I tries installing through CMD in widows
For example if i'm trying to install twilio using CMD prompt
C:python27>pip install twilio
Cmd Prompt is not giving any errors and it's not proceeding after i used pip install !I tried uninstalling python and installed again but again it's same
Error while installing from python terminal
Commond prompt error

You have to use pip in a terminal, but not in the Python shell. It is a bash command, not Python syntax. In other words, use pip before you type "python".

You have misspelled the module name (use "twilio", instead of "twillio"). And off course you should do it in the command prompt and not in python shell...
;)
Try this:
c:\>
pip install twilio

I too had the same problem
Add the following to the environment path in windows:
"C:>python27\scripts;" (Please paste without the quotes)
This helped me in solving my problem !
