I have set the install path for pip with "setx PATH" and checked to make sure pip is installed there but it still does not recognize pip. I also tried setting the path with the environment variable path editor with the same path;
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages
but get the same result with pip not being recognized even though I can see pip installed there and Windows recognizes that.
C:\Users[user]>py -m ensurepip --upgrade Looking in links:

SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
C:\Users[user]>pip 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
I can also see a pip installed in
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local
but since this was not what was recognized by "py -m ensurepip --upgrade" I figured that shouldn't be the path set. I tried setting the path for it regardless just to see and got the same result as the others.
C:\Users[user]>setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local"
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
C:\Users[user]>pip 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
Why is windows not recognizing the pip path even though "py -m ensurepip --upgrade" does and I can see it installed there?

A way around to solve this problem is to actually use Anaconda if it is possible. It also uses pip but it offers a multitude of encapsulated environments and a user friendly interface.

How to create an executable with a pycharm python file though pyinstaller?

I have been trying to install pyinstaller in order to create an executable of a python project I have been working on, but my pip command simply doesn't work. This is the error I would get "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". I have already checked the interpreter of my pycharm project, and it shows that it has pip already installed. I tried to look this up online, and I found out that a problem could be that the environment variable Path just needs to have the directory of my python version, but even after doing this, it still would not work. For additional information, I already tried to find the directory by using the command "where python" in the command prompt, but that path didn't work, and I'm using windows 10.
Usually for most of users, there would be a problem as you mention above. In such situation, you just need to install pip again with command like
python -m pip3 install -U pip
and remember next time, if pip reminds you to upgrade it, do not just use
pip install -U pip

I Have the file first of all. In The website, it says type this into your cmd, pip install pyinstaller I am on windows 10 Hp PC. But, the Cmd says this
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How do I fix This And succesfully install?
you need to first install pip. this can be done via CMD navigate to your working directory and then use the following command:
python get-pip.py.
I hope this solves your issue
I think you have not added PIP to path. Go to https://datatofish.com/add-python-to-windows-path/ to see more details.

PIP not present in Python 3.8 for Windows

I read in the PyPa pip documentation that pip comes with Python versions above 3.4 . Meanwhile when I run the 'pip help' command on my command prompt it gives me the message below:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I tried executing a suggested command from a response to a similar question yielding this:
Looking in links: c:\Users\Public\Documents\Wondershare\CreatorTemp\tmpdgjv05zc
Collecting setuptools
Collecting pip
Installing collected packages: setuptools, pip
Successfully installed pip-19.2.3 setuptools-41.2.0
I ran 'pip' help again yet again it gave me the same tone-deaf message
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I can run Python files and 'py --version' gives me the version of Python I'm using. I also tried placing the 'get-pip.py' file in a folder and getting to it through command prompt. Then I executed these commands
C:\Users\User\Desktop\pyt>python get-pip.py
C:\Users\User\Desktop\pyt>py get-pip.py
C:\Users\User\Desktop\pyt>python3 get-pip.py
They were executed immediately one-after-another but now no messages appear on the screen . Instead the OS goes to the next line, ignoring my command as if I didn't already execute one.
Why is it that I don't have pip installed? How can I install it?
Typically, when installing Python, if you add it to the PATH system environment variable, both the Python3x (containing the Python executable) and the Python3x\Scripts (containing pip) folders will be added to your path.
Apparently, something has happened to your path causing only the first of those two to be on the path.
Check which Python is on the path by running where python from the command line. If that's the version of Python you expect to be using, add the Scripts folder for the same version to the path as well.
Alternatively, uninstall your version of Python and then reinstall, ensuring you check it so it adds Python to the PATH - at the end of the Windows installation, there's the option to lift PATH length restrictions, which may be your issue.
Likely you didn't add your python installation to your path (here's a how-to guide if you've never done this before). If you are on windows then add %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\ to your path. Change the 38 to whichever point release you installed (so if you installed python 3.7 then it would be 37 etc.).

How to install requests module with pip? [duplicate]

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

Closed 2 years ago.
I'm trying to install the requests module with pip, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I open up the command prompt on windows(windows key+r,type in 'cmd' and hit enter). I have pip already installed, but when I type in 'pip install requests' to the command prompt it says
C:\Users\khern>pip install requests
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
When I go check if pip is installed, this comes up
C:\Users\khern>python -m pip --version
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
So, then I go to add python's path to the environment variables changing the top part and the bottom part so hopefully the command prompt can run python programs. But when I go to the command prompt and type python, it still says
C:\Users\khern>python
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to programming, and just want to install the 'requests' module to finish the class I'm taking on python. Thanks!
visit this link:
https://datatofish.com/add-python-to-windows-path/
this will tell you how to add python to a path on windows so that you can access python from anywhere on the system.
if you need to use pip to install request:
python -m pip install requests
but before you run that command you have to make sure you are in pip folder,
which generally looks something like this:
c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\pip
The python path I think is not selected. Try reinstalling python and do this:
solve python path
or this:
solve python path

Why cant I find PIP in Command Prompt? [duplicate]

I have recently downloaded python(3.8) as of March 2020 on a Windows 10 machine and went to check my version of Pip. I used pip --version and several other commands but it says "pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I went and looked in the simple search bar in Windows which was able to find pip installed on my computer. So what commands do I need to use to use pip? Or is there something else i'm missing?
Make sure that this folder is added to the path in you environment variables
Pip is Python package installer.
From Python version 3.4 pip suppose to arrive with the regular installation of Python.
Where did you get the Python Installation?
When you install pip the default path suppose to be: C:\Python34\Scripts\pip, is it in there?
As the other user has already wrote - please make sure the the pip folder path is in the PATH enviroment variable in your machine.
You can check it by: WINKEY + PAUSE/BREAK -> Advance system settings Enviroment Variables and then search for Path variable.
Another way to see it is to open CMD and run: echo %PATH%
If the Pip folder is present but the path is not exists in your PATH variable, simply add the Pip path:
setx %PATH%;c:\python34\scripts
