'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

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:

Answer 1

A very simple way to get around this is to open the path where pip is installed in File Explorer, and click on the path, then type cmd, this sets the path, allowing you to install way easier.

I ran into the same issue a couple days ago and all the other methods didn't work for me.

Answer 2

You can try pip3. Something like:

pip3 install pandas

Answer 3

I was facing the same issue. Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator. It resolved my issue.

Answer 4

The only way that worked on my Windows 10 machine was as follows:

py -3 -m pip install xxxxx

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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-.
