I've tried installing pip on windows using instructions from https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/install-pip-windows/, (which I've listed below), but when I run pip -V, I keep getting 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. Does anyone know what to do?
These were the instructions I followed:
Download get-pip.py to a folder on your computer. (right clicked and selected save link as...)
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing get-pip.py.
Run the following command:
python get-pip.py
Pip is now installed!
You can verify that Pip was installed correctly by opening a command prompt and entering the following command:
pip -V
I recommend you to uninstall python and then reinstall it again. In the installation window, use custom installation and check all the option which includes pip and also check to add pip to your environment variables.
In Windows 10, you need to add pip to the PATH.
This post should solve your issue: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I am trying to install a list of packages from a text file by running a batch file.
install_python_modules.bat has:
python -m pip install -r python_modules_requirements.txt
#REM python -m pip install slimit
#REM python -m pip install pycparser
etc. etc.
I am receiving "No module named pip" .
What is my machine missing here?
Thanks
This is most likely a PATH problem. The first test would be opening a command prompt and simply typing 'python' - if there is an output other than the following:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
then the problem is not PATH.
If you can launch python but not pip, then it's most likely a directory error. Try navigating to
C:/Program Files/Python
or
C:/Program Files(x86)/Python
or, as tgikal mentioned,
C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Programs
and opening the 'Scripts' folder. There, you should find the pip.exe executable, and if you start a command prompt in that folder, it should work.
On the topic of resolving the issue permanently, check out this guide to add pip.exe to your path.
I installed pip with get-pip.py, and it seemed that it was done successfully, and I added environmental variables. However, pip doesn't work (not recognized as internal or external command).
It doesn't work even if I write on the command line:
"C:\Users...\python-3.7.1-embed-amd64\Scripts\pip.exe" install numpy
I use windows 10, python 3.7, and i don't have admin rights. I edited user variables, also i asked admin to edit system environmental variables, but it didn't helped.
In case write path to pip.exe manually in the command line, it doesn't work as well.
(Pip and other expected files present in the Script folder!)
env path
pip install
To install packages, you need admin rights.
Start "cmd" as administrator.
Write your command
If you get error like:
Not recognized as internal or external command
if you get this error when you write "help" or other system commands, try start cmd using another way.
else, write not:
pip install package
but:
py -m pip install package
if you need python shell:
py
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
I keep trying to install Pip using get-pip.py and only get the wheel file in the scripts folder. Try running "pip" in the command prompt and it just comes out with an error. Running windows 8 incase you need.
edit error is 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command...
Use:
python -m pip (command) (option)
Do not use ()
If you are using latest version of Python.
In computer properties, Go to Advanced System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Environmental Variables
In System variables section, there is variable called PATH. Append c:\Python27\Scripts (Note append, not replace)
Then open a new command prompt, try "pip"
Try navigating to ~/Python[version]/Scripts in cmd, then use pip[version] [command] [module] (ie. pip3 install themodulename or pip2 install themodulename)
I am trying to install Pillow-2.7.0-cp27-none-win32.whl
I read it is necessary to use the pip to install such file extension.
So I downloaded python 2.7 which already comes with pip installed.
However when I try to execute the following command:
pip install Pillow-2.7.0-cp27-none-win32.whl
command prompt returns:
pip is not recognized as an internal or external command
EDIT
I tried the following solution:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command
But the message result is the same
You need to add the directory containing pip.exe to your PATH. It is usually found in C:\<PythonInstallDir>\Scripts, probably C:\Python27\Scripts unless the installation method has changed recently. The method of editing your PATH varies slightly amongst Windows versions, so Google it with your particular version if you don't already know how to do it.
You can try using py -m pip install pillow in the Command Prompt/PowerShell
