I have explored many other questions about the installation of pip on Windows. However, I have had no luck.
I have seen for Python 3.4+ that pip comes with it. I can see pip in the site-packages folder, but trying to run pip -V I get a ModuleNotFoundError.
I successfully added python to the PATH. I then downloaded the get-pip.py file and ran. I made cure to add C:.../Scripts to PATH. Again I tried pip -V and had the same issue.
Also tried python -m pip -V as suggested in the comments and got this error:
C:\Users\apowell\Documents\python-3.7.4-embed-amd64\python.exe: No module named pip
I'm a little lost now on how to successfully use pip. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
For further details, I am doing this all on a virtual machine. I have python/pip all set up on my local machine. What would be the process for copying from my local machine to the VM?
Looks like you are using the embeddable package. It is not meant to be used as is. You should probably try installing Python with the full installer instead. Here is the full installer for Python 3.7.4 Windows 64 bits.

I am doing this project where i need to install a package called Twint.
I want to install this package and use it's commands in my VS Code.
What happends when i for example type this in my Windows CMD?
pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git#origin/master#egg=twint
Because i can't type this in my VS code terminal, where i usually install packages with pip.
It will return an error that says ERROR: Cannot find command 'git' - do you have 'git' installed and in your PATH?''
Now if i run this in my Windows Command it seems that i can't directly import the package in VS code?
Can anyone help me out with this confusion, where does the files get stored and how do i create good habbits around installing packages?
Hope someone understands what im struggeling with here.

It is often the case that computers have more than one version of python installed and that editors like VS code use a different version than pip uses on the command line. pip installs packages where the version of python it is linked to expects them to be, but VScode doesn't know to look there.
It sounds like you have git installed where pip installs things, so you can upgrade from the command line without issue, but there's no installation of git where VScode is looking, so there's nothing to upgrade.
You either need to find where pip installs things and add it to the $PATH VScode uses, or try running a variation of python -m pip install --user git (specifying a specific url, or other things, as needed) from within VScode, which will ensure the package gets installed in a place that VScode looks for packages.
Download and Install git in your windows from here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Then add its installation bin path to your windows's environment path. Then you will find the git command at the command prompt globally.
This may solve you problem.
I have currently used the python Package Larch (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/larch) on Windows. It works nicely and I am really impressed with its performance. To use the package with some large models I want to install it on a Linux server (Ubuntu 14.04.4) where I do not have the root permissions. Though knowing that the OS requirements for the package are Window or MacOS and being a beginner with Linux, I still gave it a try.
I was able to install python locally using anaconda distribution but when I used pip to install larch, I got the following message
Could not find a version that satisfied the requirement larch (from version: )
No matching distribution found for larch
So it seems to me that I can not just deliberately try to install the package on linux with out any additional work. I then tried to find solutions for my issue but I could not find any. Therefore I would like to ask if there is any workaround for my problem?
Thank you so much for your help!
[Edit]
larch does not support python2.x, and only support Windows, MACOSX.
For installing in Linux, I suggest to use wine to run windows python program with larch.
For more information about wine in Ubuntu. You can search with keyword such as How To Run Windows Software on Ubuntu with Wine
For installing in macosx. Making sure your environment have python3. You can use which python3 to check that.
$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3
Then, without root permission, you can install package via virtualenv. (A workstation should provide this command)
$ virtualenv -p $(which python3) env
$ . env/bin/activate
(env) $ python -V
Python 3.x.x
And finally, you can install larch via pip.
(env) $ pip3 install larch
For more information about virtualenv
"Larch can be installed from source code. If not using Anaconda, this is necessary for Linux, and can be done for other systems as well.
The latest releases of the source code will be available from Larch releases (github.com). In addition, you can use git to grab the latest development version of the source code:git clone http://github.com/xraypy/xraylarch.git" After unpacking the source distribution kit, installation from source on any platform is:
python setup.py install

edit: See this for doing this without root access
How to install python modules without root access?
I have Python 2.7.11 installed on my machine which to my understanding should come with pip, however when I check the C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\ directory there is no pip.exe present.
I have tried completely removing and reinstalling Python 2.7.11 without success. Running the installer pip is set to be installed, but after the install pip is nowhere to be found.
I also have Python 3.4 installed which has pip as expected. Any thoughts?
I encountered the same problem - pip not installed - with python-2.7.16, Win10, installing for 'all users'. It was resolved when I allowed the MSI installer to target the default location (C:\Python27) rather than changing it to under Program Files (x86). I've no clue why this changed anything.
python2.7.11 should install pip into c:\python27\scripts, you can take a look here
I used https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ to make it install. Odd that an outside body has to make a tool to get pip to install. There is no mention of pip.pypa.io on the Python web site.
Although I got error messages, it did install, so check carefully.
You also may see a message suggesting that you upgrade to pip 9.0 with the command 'pip install --upgrade.' I highly recommend that.
Also, make sure you are in the directory where pip.exe is located when you run the commands. They don't tell you that, because they assume you know that, but we're not all geeks.
For people who are running into this issue, I have a Windows 10 x86 dev box that I use for exploit development, Python 2.7 was installed due to Immunity Debugger, this install did not include the new SSL package and did not include "pip".
There was no "C:\Python27\Scripts" folder which included pip. I did have a "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts" folder which did not have pip installed.
I tired to install pip as suggested but did not work. Best way is to uninstall Python and install newest version, currently mine is 2.7.15 which came with pip as an option. This is what solved my issue, any older version of Python will need upgraded to support the SSL packages. You will receive the same errors when you try to install pip on an older version.
If you have reinstalled Python which included the SSL package and it still does not have pip, trying installing pip this way:
1. curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
2. python get-pip.py
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
This should work if you have a newer version of Python.
Once you have installed pip or newer version of python, go to "C:\Python27\Scripts" and you should see pip.exe.
I have installed "python-2.7.16" in my windows 10 PC. PIP is installed under "C:\Python27\Scripts". One can add the "C:\Python27\Scripts" path to environment variable and then access pip command from command prompt.
To add the path in environment variable:
Control Panel\System and Security\System --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced --> enviroment variables --> under system variable --> Path(variable name)
Had the issue where no matter which version of python 2.7 I installed on windows 10 there was no pip.exe generated in the "Scripts" folder.
I solved it by ensuring that that MSI Installer file had Admin privileges before installing
if pip is not installed you can use easy_install.exe to install pip and other modules
you can find easy install in
python -m easy_install pip
I had the same issue:
Installed Python 27
Tried to use pip, but failed with unrecognized command error
Checked installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts", only "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts"
This issue happens only on some versions of Windows.
HOW TO FIX IT:
Uninstall Python 27
Reinstall Python 27, but unselect "pip" feature
Check installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts" as expected
Start the installer again and use "Change Python"
Set "pip" and "Add Python.exe to Path" features to be installed
Check installation: "C:\Python27\Scripts" is now correctly present
So for some unknown reason, pip is not correctly installed on some versions of Windows if it is installed during default Python 27 setup. To fix this issue, pip must be installed afterwards using the "Change Python" setup.
I meet the same issue when install Python 2.7.9. The installer does not come with pip.
Solution:
Install newer python2 x86 version: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/
Then pip is located at C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe
It happens on windows as you should have admin rights to install anything on disk C.
I have the same issue Scripts folder was not installed. I would sugest to instal it on disk D.
I installed the latest version of Python from www.python.org. Python 3.4.3. I then go to run pip and I get
"Fatal error in launcher: Job information querying failed"
Searching for this error message points me to similar issues running Python under wine. If you grab a pre-compiled pip.exe it will work but it seems that when you install, the pip.exe is generated as part of the installer and this pip.exe does not work.
Further I am dealing with a build script that creates a virtual python environment that uses pip.exe and results in the same error. Not sure how to fix this. Also not sure how pip.exe is generated.
You can use python -m pip install package
Worked for me in windows 10, make sure that you have added python in path of system environment variable. If you are able to run python from powershell then it means python is added to your path. After that you may try using following to upgrade pip
python -m pip install -U pip
After following this article: How do I install pip on Windows? on my Windows system using Enthought Canopy 64 Bit system, I cannot get pip or easy_install to work due to error:
pip install requests
failed to create process
I tried re-installing setuptools, running cmd prompt as admin without any effect.
When I encountered this, it was because I'd manually renamed the directory python was in. This meant that both setuptools and pip had to be reinstalled. Or, I had to manually rename the python directory to what it had been previously.
It will help after changing the PATH to python in environment variables:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall
Just ran into this. Sort of. Pip worked for me, but after installing pytest-watch, running the ptw script was giving this error.
For some reason, pip stopped quoting the #! in ptw-script.py:
#!C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\python.exe
It worked after I added quotes manually:
#!"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\python.exe"
I don't really know why this suddenly started happening. Adding this here in case anyone else coming here from Google runs into the same thing.
Here's a related pip issue (I think).
If you intentionally want to rename the folder where python.exe resides, you should also modify all python files in the Scripts folder. So a third solution would be to modify the python files as well: the first line in pip-2.7-script.py originally contain:
#!C:\OriginalPythonDir\python.exe
Modifying this path to the new Python folder fixes the problem.
(P.S. Unfortunately I cannot yet reply to answers, so I'll reply as a new answer because I thought it could be useful for other people as well).
To fix this error (after you change the folder where python is installed) run force-reinstall for pip and pyinstaller, like this:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall
python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller --force-reinstall
I ran into this bug while installing an older version of Python (3.5.2) for compatibility with some aws-adfs scripting. I installed aws-adfs with pip, on Windows 10, and found that while Python is installed to a directory path with spaces in it you will get the failed to create process error.
The pip maintainers say that it was a deeper problem with setuptools and even offered a workaround if you want to patch the installation in place.
But another, easier solution if you're working with older versions of Python is just to reinstall Python to a directory without spaces.
When I came across this problem, I found that my path contained multiple entries for Python. After tidying up my path so that it had an entry for the python installation folder and the scripts folder (in my case C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts), pip worked properly.
Test this. it's worked correctly for me:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall
I just use python in the command shell on Windows 7 and had this problem immediately after installing pip. In case the above solutions don't help you, you should check that the folder that pip.exe is installed in (in my case, the Script folder under Python32) is in the Path.
I had installed Anaconda and so I still had C:\Python27 along with C:\Anaconda in my path. When I removed C:\Python27 and all subfolders I was able to use pip again.
Please check out have you ever rename your python.exe
I install python2 and python3 on my PC at the same time , so I rename my python.exe to python3.exe.And when I use pip ,it boom...
After rename it back .It's ok again....
Running command prompt with administrator privileges worked for me.
I had the same problem and none of the above worked for me.
I deleted my venv. And created a new one by specifying the python path:
virtualenv --python C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
and this worked
Check whether the pip-script points out the exact location of python.exe, because pip always points (C:\python3.3\python.exe). In my system i've installed 2 versions of python i.e python2 & python3. I ve modified the home application of python.exe into python2.exe and python3.exe.
When i installed pip windows installer. it results me out with the error " failed to create process"
