I am trying to install some packages from the command prompt on my windows OS. I tried the steps given in the answer here but they don't seem to work for me. I can use the spyder IDE to install the package and get on with it but I want to know how to do it from Command line. I am getting this syntax error.
Did you install pip? Check it with using pip --version
If not, please install and after that, it should work with using:
pip install django

pip not working with any followed commands:
pip is not showing anywhere:
It sounds like you may not have pip installed, judging from your pictures. If so type this to check python -m pip --version.
If you don't have it installed, perhaps try python -m pip install.
If you do have pip installed and are trying to install pygame, I suggest trying python -m pip install pygame.
I also found that using python didn't work but replacing it with py did. I did these things (a while ago) in terminal on a windows 10 machine, so my suggestions may not be relevant.

I was trying to develop a virtual machine for my friend, I decided to use python pip, but when I typed in install after pip (pip install wolframalpha), the "i" is highlighted as an "invalid syntax". I have tried capital "i" in install, but it still shows the error, I do believe I have searched for all possible reasons, but did not come to the one that is my reason for all my problems. also, i have tried python IDLE and the cmd prompt widows comes with, along with uninstalling and reinstall python 3.8.5, yet that did nothing. below is a screen shot of my problem.
pip install error
The problem is you are using python in your shell, instead what you want to do is open up command prompt and type pip install (your module), or if this throws you an error configure pip to your path variables than try again.

I was wondering how you install pip with the newest version of Python which is 3.8. I try to put in curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py > get-pip.py into the command line but I get a syntax error that looks like this enter image description here I was wondering if someone can tell me what I was doing wrong.
You need to execute the that code on the shell command line, not inside Python.
But apart from that there’s usually a better way to install pip, refer to the official instructions.
You need to run curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py > get-pip.py in your terminal not in the python console.
Go to your command prompt, cd to the location of the pip.exe or pip3.exe from the Python 3.8 package. There, you can enter in your command prompt: pip install something or pip2 install something.

pip not working on windows python 2.7.9

I know there's a post like this, but I can't find the answer yet :S
I installed the last version of Python (3.7) and it's already come with pip right? I tried everything on CMD in intention to install libraries but everytime i got "Invalid Syntax".
py -m pip install ndjson;
python -m pip install ndjson;
pip install ndjson;
python.exe -m pip install ndjson;
even python --version got invalid syntax.
someone help me?
my windows is 64 bits..
EDIT:
enter image description here
You are in your Python interpreter rather than the terminal.
Open a new terminal and try pip install ndjson again.
Just so you know, if you see >>> at the start of your terminal, you're in the Python interpreter. You can't run pip commands from the Python interpreter; you can only run them from the terminal.
To exit the interpreter you can type quit() (or hit control D in some systems), which will bring you back to your terminal.

trying to use pip to install a library is getting me a syntax error . i tried everything on the internet , the only way to install a module using pip is an answer i found here: Why does "pip install" inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
which states:
import pip
package_name='selenium'
pip.main(['install', package_name])
is there a way to fix pip here so that i use the normal syntax like:
pip install somemodule
Some other answers where about changing the environment variables however they did not specify how to do that on Windows 7
You can use the windwos shell (cmd.exe) to install selenium using pip.
Search the directory of your python installation, inside it is a folder called scripts. Open it and in scripts hold shift and right-click. Now you get a context menu where you can choose open console in this folder (or something similar, my windows is not english).
If you have your windows shell in scripts, type:
pip install --upgrade pip
to get the newest pip version.
Now you can install selenium with:
pip install selenium
