I was trying to download a GUI, but the terminal kept giving me this error:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
I'm trying to install it using this command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv
Check your Python version and be sure it is installed on your machine
Check the path environment variable
Go to -> "start" and type "Manage App Execution Aliases". Go to it and turn off "Python"
I was having the same issue and I fixed it by using the below method.
Copy two paths of Python
C:\Users\Maninder\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\Maninder\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
These are the paths where your Python interpreter is installed. Now add this path into your environmental
variable. Put this path into System variable, not in user variable. I was using user variable, so I was facing the issue.
I have a solution for you. Make sure you check the path mark during installation. Then you need to go to Manage App Execution Aliases.
Simply go to your search bar and search for Manage App Execution Aliases. You will find the attached screen and you need to turn off App Installers as you see on the screen. Also, see the path,,, follow Maninder's answer.
Then you are good to go! :)
I had the same issue. In Windows CMD, only: py --version, works.
I tried adding the path on System variables, and it didn't work. If you are using PyCharm as I do, try to run all commands from the IDE's terminal. It usually is on the side bar where the Run and the Console is. If it is not, go to: menu View → Tool Windows → Terminal. It worked just fine for me.
You need to download Python from https://python.org. When in the installation, be sure to check the option that adds Python to PATH.
I haven't gotten this error before and have been using Python a long time, and then suddenly it showed up. I think that it is a result of a Windows update designed to steer you to their store.
In any case: to remedy the problem, go to Settings → app execution aliases → and turn "off" Python. (What they tell you to do, in other words). This should resolve the problem.
If you have installed Python successfully with add python path, ticked on, and have added
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
to the path into System variables and have turned off the "aliases" and they all didn't work, you can simply use python instead of python3 in your cmd command.
Check the Aliases for App Execution in Windows. Search for Alias App in your Windows toolbar to find the UI for this. Try turning off anything Python related.
Try adding the following to your "Path" environment variable:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts
Replace Python37 with your own version.
I solved this problem for Visual Studio Code with just writing "python" in the console:
python
After that, Microsoft Store opens automatically with the Python app:
And I just click Get.
And it all work!
All the previous answers are correct, but in my case, I was getting this, because I was not passing the version...
The fix is passing the version:
py.exe -3 your_program
If you're on Windows, you may want to use the Python installer, in Windows Marketplace.
I faced the same error while using Anaconda and trying to link the Python executable path in the command prompt.
It got rectified by going to Settings → App execution aliases → and turning "off" Python. Then again I had to set the path for Python in Anaconda and was successful in executing "python --version" command.
The same thing happened to me even after trying all the above-mentioned steps.
I just restart my system and it was working fine. Do it and if still doesn't fix the issue then make sure you have checked "add python ( any version ) to PATH" before installing Python.
If none of the previous answers are working, you can check if you have the Python executable in your program files.
Go to C:\Program Files and check if you have the Python application. If not, go to the python download website here and download the .exe file.
While installing you must select "Custom install" and select the location as C:/Program Files.
Install it and it should work now from anywhere. This worked for me!
To sincerely resolve this issue, do the following:
Uninstall the Python instance and reinstall it. Note: Make sure you check
"Add variable PATH".
On the command line, type:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv
I got this issue when I used Visual Studio Code as the IDE, and Anaconda as my Python compiler. And you don't need to close the "app alias" in settings, but copy your python.exe to python3.exe in your Anaconda folder.
That happened to me. So, to fix it, you have to follow the following steps:
Uninstall the Python version you already installed.
Go ahead and open the installation file to reinstall it again.
Before hitting Install Now, make sure to tick the box in front of Add Python to path.
Go ahead and complete the installation procedure as usual.
Steps for installing Python
The problem is more subtle than it seems.
For example, if you are using Visual Studio Code on the bottom left, you should see Python X.X.X xx-bit (the X is the version).
If you click in there you will see where the IDE is getting the python.exe from.
Locate that folder into your file explorer and then just follow the answer that is saying to change the environments variables.
So copy the path where python.exe is and add it to the Path variable and do the same where the Script folder is (it is in the same directory where the python.exe is).
Then of course make sure your IDE is using the right Python.
None of the answers here worked for me. I did this and the error went away.
For Windows 11 which I was using, I reran the python-3.10.5-amd64.exe file from my downloads directory and then chose to modify the installation.
Then I followed these easy steps.
Make sure the PIP component is checked before proceeding to install.
Then check 'Add Python to environment variables' if it's not checked already.
Proceed to Install.
At this point, your error will be solved
If you already have the Python executable on your machine and you are getting this error in Windows 10, search for the Python executable and copy its path then copy the path in system variables. It worked for me.
to check in windows
py --version
or restart your pc first then put htis command again
I was also facing this issue after installing python, while running command
python --version in command prompt , error as:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
So, i too added
the path in environment variable as shown, and it worked:
I'm running into a weird error when trying to install Django on my computer.
This is the sequence that I typed into my command line:
C:\Python34> python get-pip.py
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python34\lib\site-packages
Cleaning up...
C:\Python34> pip install Django
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Python34> lib\site-packages\pip install Django
'lib\site-packages\pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

What could be causing this?
This is what I get when I type in echo %PATH%:

You need to add the path of your pip installation to your PATH system variable. By default, pip is installed to C:\Python34\Scripts\pip (pip now comes bundled with new versions of python), so the path "C:\Python34\Scripts" needs to be added to your PATH variable.
To check if it is already in your PATH variable, type echo %PATH% at the CMD prompt
To add the path of your pip installation to your PATH variable, you can use the Control Panel or the setx command. For example:
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts"
Note:
According to the official documentation, "[v]ariables set with setx variables are available in future command windows only, not in the current command window". In particular, you will need to start a new cmd.exe instance after entering the above command in order to utilize the new environment variable.
Thanks to Scott Bartell for pointing this out.
For Windows, when you install a package, you type:
python -m pip install [packagename]
As of now, version 3.7.3 I had a little bit of an issue with getting the right system variable.
Try this:
Type start %appdata% in cmd.
After that file explorer should pop up in ../AppData/Roaming.
Go back one directory and navigate to Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/Scripts.
NOTE: The version number may be different so if you copy and paste the above file path it could not work.
After you do this you now have the correct location of your downloaded Python. Copy your file path by selecting the whole directory in the address bar.
Once you do that click the start icon and navigate to the Control Panel → System and Security → System. Then click "Advanced System Settings" on the left side of the panel.
Once there, click Environment Variables on the bottom right and there will be two boxes, an upper and a lower box. In the upper box: Click on the 'Path' Variable and click Edit located on the right. Click New and paste your directory Path. It should look something like this:
Click OK three times, open a new window of cmd and type: pip. See if it works.
For me the command:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts
worked immediately (try after echo %PATH% and you will see that your path has the value C:\Python34\Scripts).
Thanks to: Adding a directory to the PATH environment variable in Windows
Alternate way.
If you don't want to add the PATH as the previous well written answers pointed out,
but you want to execute pip as your command then you can do that with py -m as prefix.
Given that you have to do it again and again.
eg.
py -m <command>
as in
py -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
Also make sure to have pip and py installed
The only way that worked on my Windows 10 machine was as follows:
py -3 -m pip install xxxxx
Also, the long method - it was a last resort after trying all previous answers:
C:\python27\scripts\pip.exe install [package].whl
This after cd in directory where the wheel is located.
As per Python 3.6 Documentation
It is possible that pip does not get installed by default. One
potential fix is:
python -m ensurepip --default-pip
Control Panel -> add/remove programs -> Python -> Modify -> optional Features (you can click everything) then press next -> Check "Add python to environment variables" -> Install
And that should solve your path issues, so jump to command prompt and you can use pip now.
Go to control Panel >> Uninstall or change Program and double click on Python XXX to modify install. Make sure PIP component is checked and install.
I was having the same problem just now.
After adding the proper folder (C:\Python33\Scripts) to the path, I still could not get pip to run. All it took was running
pip.exe install -package- instead of
pip install -package-.
Try going to Windows PowerShell or cmd prompt and typing:
python -m pip install openpyxl
In latest version Python 3.6.2 and above, is available in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Scripts
You can add the path to our environment variable path as below
Make sure you close your command prompt or Git after setting up your path. Also should you open your command prompt in administrator mode. This is example for Windows 10.
Use
set Path = `%PATH%;C:\Python34\;C:\Python27\Scripts`
Source
Or if you are using PyCharm (2017-03-03) like me, just change directory in terminal and install:
cd C:\Users\{user}\PycharmProjects\test\venv\Scripts
pip install ..
Most frequently it is:
in cmd.exe write
python -m pip install --user [name of your module here without brackets]
Even I'm new to this, but pip install django worked for me.
The path should be set as where the script folder of the Python installation is, i.e.C:\Python34\Scripts.
I suppose it's because Django is a framework which is based on Python, and that's why this directory structure has to be maintained while installing.
I have just installed Python 3.6.2.
I got the path as
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
In Windows, open cmd and find the location of PYTHON_HOME using where python. Now add this location to your environment variable PATH using:
set PATH=%PATH%;<PYTHON_HOME>\Scripts
Or refer to this.
In Linux, open a terminal and find the location of PYTHON_HOME using which python. Now add the PYTHON_HOME/Scripts to the PATH variable using:
PATH=$PATH:<PYTHON_HOME>\Scripts
export PATH
You can try pip3. Something like:
pip3 install pandas
I was facing the same issue. Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator. It resolved my issue.
None of these actually worked for me, but running
python -m pip install -U pip
and then adding the specified directory to the PATH as suggested got it working
In your Python folder path in Terminal, just type
py -m pip
in order to check the current version of your pip.
You will also see a list of commands, you can use...
I think from Python 2.7.9 and higher pip comes pre installed and it will be in your scripts folder.
So you have to add the "scripts" folder to the path. Mine is installed in C:\Python27\Scripts. Check yours to see what your path is so that you can alter the below accordingly. Then go to PowerShell, paste the below code in PowerShell and hit Enter key. After that, reboot and your issue will be resolved.
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\Scripts", "User")
In a Windows environment, just execute the below commands in a DOS shell.
path=%path%;D:\Program Files\python3.6.4\Scripts;
(new path=current path;path of the Python script folder)
I deleted the older version using the control panel and then installed the new version however the newer version was not reflecting pip even after adding the right paths in the environment variables. However, the thing that worked for me was deleting the folders of old python that were there in the local App folder even after uninstall. For me, the path was like below. Deleting this folder solved my issue
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python38
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command
pip is a python module used to install packages. For your problem, there can be many reasons;
Restart CMD/Terminal
Environment variable is not set. pip is installed but environment variable is not set. Environment variable is a windows variable where pip path is saved, so it can be run at run time.
pip is not installed.
Restart CMD/Terminal
It is sometimes possible that you opened your command prompt or terminal before installing pip and now it just needs a restart to pick up the latest environment variables. It is worth trying just restarting your command prompt or terminal.
Environment Variable is Not Set
Open CMD and run this command to see the values set in the PATH environment variable.
echo %PATH%
This will echo the PATH environment variable like this;
You should check if your path exist in the echoed PATH list. For example, in my case, the path for pip.exe files is C:\Python310\Scripts. You can check this path yourself like this;
If you can find pip path and it does not exist the echoed PATH variable, then we need to add it. Copy the path like C:\Python310\Scripts.
Go to Start > This PC > Properties > Advance system settings >
Advanced > Environment Variables
As shown in the image above, Select Path, click Edit button and add the copied path. Restart the CMD and test pip command again.
pip is Not Installed
If pip is not installed, you can install it again by downloading latest python.exe setup from python.org website. Make sure you check mark the pip option as shown in the image below.
In the next step, check mark "Add Python to environment variables"
I had this same issue. You just need to go to your
C:\Python27\Scripts
and add it to environment variables. After path setting just run pip.exe file on C:\Python27\Scripts and then try pip in cmd. But if nothing happens try running all pip applications like pip2.7 and pip2.exe. And pip will work like a charm.
Small clarification: in "Windows 7 64 bit PC", after adding ...Python34\Scripts to the path variable, pip install pygame didn't work for me.
So I checked the "...Python34\Scripts" folder, it didn't have pip, but it had pip3 and pip3.4. So I ran pip3.4 install pygame .... .whl. It worked.
(Further open a command window in the same folder where you have the downloaded pygame...whl file.)

I'm trying to debug some python code using VS code. I'm getting the following error about a module that I am sure is installed.
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'SimpleITK'
File "C:\Users\Mido\Desktop\ProstateX-project\src\01-preprocessing\03_resample_nifti.py", line 8, in <module>

I installed the module using
sudo pip install SimpleITK
I know that it was installed because I was getting a similar error when I ran the code through the command line, and it was fixed by doing the above. I don't understand why VS code does not recognize that
After installing a new module via pip reloading vscode may work if vscode doesn't recognize it. To do this, make sure that the module is installed inside the virtual environment by creating and activating a virtualenv:
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
Make sure to use the correct way of installing a module with pip:
python3 -m pip install {new_module}
Replace the string "{new_module}" with your module name. After that, make sure to reload vscode by clicking Ctrl+Shift+P, and selecting Reload window.
Now vscode will know the new module and autocompletion works.
sudo pip install is most likely installing globally into a Python interpreter that is different than the one that you have selected in VS Code. Please select the Python interpreter you want to use and then install explicitly using that interpreter (if you're not using a virtual environment then use something like /path/to/python -m pip install SimpleITK, although I strongly recommend using a virtual environment and to not install packages globally).
In Mac, correctly selecting the Python Interpreter worked for me:
From within VS Code, select a Python 3 interpreter by opening the Command Palette (⇧⌘P), start typing the Python: Select Interpreter command to search, then select the command. You can also use the Select Python Environment option on the Status Bar if available (it may already show a selected interpreter, too):
No interpreter selected
The command presents a list of available interpreters that VS Code can find automatically, including virtual environments. If you don't see the desired interpreter, see Configuring Python environments.
Source :VS Code Select Interpreter
This error: your vscode use other python version. This solution change vscode use current python.
In terminal find current python version:
py --version
In vscode Press Ctrl+Shift+P then type:
Python: Select Interpreter
Select current python version
I ran into this problem with VSCode and resolved it by setting my Python interpreter within VSCode to the same as the one in my system path (type "echo %PATH%" on Windows and look for Python) via the process here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial#_select-a-python-interpreter
There are a lot of proposed answers that suggest changing the launch.json or the settings.json file. However, neither of these solutions worked for me.
My situation:
Is Python environment selected? yes
Does the Terminal recognize Python environment? yes
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal? yes
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"? yes
Does the code run when I click "Run Code"? no
The only solution that worked for me is to:
Open Windows Terminal (or cmd)
Activate environment: conda activate <environment_name>
Open Visual Studio Code from Terminal: code
Then, "Run Code" (#5) works without any issues.

"module not found error" in VS Code using Conda - l3d00m's answer
Faced similar issue and here is how I fixed it. Remember that there are multiple ways to run your code in VS code. And for each way you may end up with different interpreters and environments. For example:
1. Creating virtual env and installing libraries
In my case I opted into creating virtual environment and doing so outside of VS Code using command prompt:
python -m venv .plotting_test
Following that I activated it:
.plotting_test\Scripts\activate.bat
Following that I installed additional libraries:
python -m pip install matplotlib
Following that I made sure to see it was all installed ok:
python -m pip list
And I also checked where for current directory:
cd
2. Point VS Code & VS Code Code Runner to virtual environment
Opened vs code, closed previous workspaces, opened new folder, created test.py as I was starting new. Pressed ctrl + shift + p. Selected ```Python: Select Interpreter``:
Followed by + Enter interpreted path
Navigated to directory from last step from section 1. Found my virtual environment folder created in step one and pointed VS code to that version's python.exe in Scripts:
Verified I am pointed to such:
Saved as workspace so that I can create default workspace settings for this project:
In workspace settings files defined paths to my virtual environment created n step 1 for workspace interpreter & CODE RUNNER(!):
"settings": {
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/python.exe",
"code-runner.executorMap": {"python": "call C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/activate.bat && python -u"}
}
}
Reloaded window just to make sure (ctrl + shift + p) = "Developer: Reload Window"
Now run code and run python file should be execute under your specified envs:
Try running pip list in VS Code to check if the module is installed, next check if your python version is correct/supports that version of SimpleITK. It may be a problem with the python interpreter that you are using for VS Code (ie. the module may be installed on a different python instance than the one your VS Code is using)
Is Python environment selected?
Does the Terminal recognize the Python environment?
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal?
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"?
if the answer to the above is "yes."
Then,
Try running the Code using the option "Run python file in terminal" (in code runner extension). And assign a new shortcut for that for future use...
How to fix module not found error in Visual Studio code?
To Solve VSCode ModuleNotFoundError: No module named X Error Make sure you are running from the package folder (not from package/module ) if you want import module. calculations to work. You can also set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the path to the package folder.
Once you have created a virtual environment, and installed your required packages in that environment, close VS code. For Windows platform, open command prompt and navigate to the folder where your virtual env folder is created. And then launch VS code from there using the command code .
For ex: My virtual env name is .imgenv, and its inside C:\py_stuff\projects
So, I navigate to C:\py_stuff\projects and then type code .
Now, your VS code should recognize the packages !
I just ran into the same issue. I found that if I selected all text before shift enter the script would compile as a file instead of as a single line.
I had the same problem. I bet you have a shebang statement at the top of your file.
If you do.
Visual Studios settings
Under "Code-runner->Code-runner: Respect Shebang" section or just do a search for "Code-runner: Respect Shebang"
Uncheck weather to respect Shebang to run code.
Now it will run under the virtual environment and find the modules that you installed using pip! :)
I struggled with this for a very long time, and had tried almost every other answer. I wasn't using pip, so that wasn't the issue. But still VS Code wasn't finding the modules that were installed in the Selected Interpreter.
Ultimately it came down to old conflicts that existed because I switched to miniconda, and VS Code was still looking for anaconda3.
I completely wiped VS Code and its associated files (cache, preference files, etc.) from my machine (some instructions), and installed a clean version.
This now syncs as expected with miniconda.
If you have different python versions installed, be sure you install module with right one.
python -m pip install <module>
or
python3 -m pip install <module>
Run your environment from a directory not in the users directory. I solved my problem running my environment from C:\Code\ProjectA\
I discovered my problem by running:
IMPORT os
Mycwd = os.getcwd()
PRINT(Mycwd)
.venv/Lib/SitePackages is the default directory where Vscode looks for Modules.
This directory is automatically created on creating .venv via the command Pallete.
External modules installed via pip are placed in this directory by default.
Place self created modules inside this folder manually.
For mac users
In the terminal check which python you are using by command which python. It will give you the path of the python interpreter path. After that type cmd shift P and type Python: Select interpreter.
After that select + Enter interpreter path and paste the path which you got after running the command which python.
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.
