correction
i edited the environment variable to path Scripts, but in the command prompt on typing the pip command it does not shows up the package installation
python\scripts location picture
While executing the pip command in the command prompt, it shows pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I tried setting environment variables and all other alternative solution still I am not able to solve it. I recently noticed pip.exe file missing from python/scripts module.
Is that reason to show up this error? if it is yes, how will I install it manually?
You should add the full directory to the Scripts folder to your PATH environment variable. When you run commands in a command prompt, Windows will search through the folders listed in PATH.
Assuming you are on Windows 10:
Press the start button then search "Environment Variables"
Click the "Edit Environment Variables" option.
Click the "Environment Variables" button in the box that pops up.
Scroll down and find the PATH variable, double click it.
Click "New"
Paste in the path to the Scripts folder.
Save it and exit, then restart the terminal. Now pip will be recognized.
Finally I solved it.I used python 3.8.3 version.Not folder named "Scripts" in this version.I just delete this version and reinstall python 3.7.8 version and then pip is here :D
I know this has been solved, but another way of dealing with this is to create an empty file in the 'Scripts' folder and rename it to pip.bat. Then add the following code:
python -m pip %*
Which simply passes all the arguments of the pip command to python.

I went on the cmdl and pip install cookiecutter
This worked fine because when i do
pip show -f cookiecutter
I have the information of where it was saved(i.e: c:\users\name\appdata\roaming\python\python39\site-packages
But when I try to run the following command in the folder I want my template to be created in
cookiecutter -c v1 https://github.com/drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science
This error message is displayed:
'cookiecutter' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
After reviewing countless other similar posts, I think this might have to do with the virtual environment or path that is active but I have no idea what that means and how to make changes in my system.
To use cookiecutter, type "python" in the Windows search bar. Your current python version should show up. In the window that pops-up, click "open file location". Right click the python shortcut icon and click "open file location" again. Look for the "Scripts" folder and double click it. If you installed cookiecutter correctly, you should see it in the "Scripts" folder.
Copy the file path and open up "System Properties". In "System Properties", click on "Environment Variables", then open up "PATH" and add the link you just copied to path. Click "OK" to all and restart the command prompt. Using the command prompt, go to the folder where you want to set up the project in your local system and run the following:
cookiecutter -c v1 https://github.com/drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science
If it works, it should ask you for project name, author name etc.
I tried the answer to when this was asked previously and it didn't work, so I'm asking here.
I'm very new to both windows and python, and am trying to run python from my (Windows 10) command line so that I can use pip to install a package (SpaCy). I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong, but after the
C:Users\myname>
typing
C:Users\myname>python
leads to an invalid syntax error, saying:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I have python 2.7 installed on my computer, and it works when I use an interpreter such as Rodeo.
I also get the same error when trying to use pip to install SpaCy, although when I try to install pip I get a message that pip is already installed.
Is there some basic knowledge I'm just missing?
When you installed Python, there would have been a tick box that wanted to know if you would like the Python Path adding to the Environment variables. As you didn't select this, your Windows Path doesn't include the folder where the Python executable lives.
To fix this, rerun the installer and modify your install, it should pop up the screen with the tick boxes on, select the one mentioned above and the job should be done.
This is how it works with the Python3 installer, anyhow and I assume that 2.7 will use the same basic model.
You may need to add the newly installed location of python to your path variable.
Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment variables
Find "Path" and edit.
Append a semicolon ';' and add the full path to your python install location.
To try your new path, you may need to start up another command line cmd.exe to pick up the new PATH.
You need to add python.exe to your Path:
Locate where Python is installed. It's usually located at:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\<version>
Now you need to add this directory to your path. To do that press Windows Key, search for 'Environment Variables' and click on 'Edit the System Environment Variables'.
Then 'Environment Variables...'
Click on 'Path' variable and hit 'Edit...'
Then, 'New'...
Put the directory where your Python.exe is installed and hit okay,
Restart your command prompt and try again.
You need to add python installation path to your environment variable.
Click search icon on windows task bar--> type "environment variable" Edit environment variable will pop (System or User)--> add path to python installation till bin to "Path" variable.

I recently installed Python 3.6 for my Windows 10 (64bit) and I want to use pip, but before to install that, I need to execute the following command using the downloaded get-pip.py program:
python get-pip.py
Somehow this doesn't work and I get the following message from Command Line:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
(I get the same message when I want to execute some pip commands)
I tried a lot of "solutions" for installing pip, like downloading files from https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads/ but nothing happened, I got the messages...
Could you explain to me why the Command Line doesn't know these commands and how can I install them?
No need for admin access:
The reason the error is arising is because python is not in your PATH (meaning it can be called from any directory in the prompt). You can check that its not in the PATH by typing the following:
echo %path%
which will return lost of different directory paths, but not the one to where you have python installed.
To add python to this (and get rid of your error), follow these steps:
Open up control panel.
Go to System. (skip to this step with: Win+Break )
Go to the Advanced tab at the top.
Click on Environment Variables at the bottom.
In the section User variables for ___, add a new one with New.
In this pop-up add the name : path and value : C:\Python34 (or wherever it is installed).
Hope this helps as this is what I did to get python to work from any directory in the command prompt!
Open your CMD as administrator and type PATH (prints the output of your system PATH Variable). There have to be a PATH directing to your Python Installation directory. Only with that system Path your cmd knows where python.exe is and search there for python.
Normally the Python Installation Setup asks if you want to set a Python Environment PATH Variable. Maybe run the setup again and watch out for that option. And I think there was a checkbox to automatic install pip for python.
If you want to set the Path Environment Variable use this:

If you want to manually install pip with GET-PIP you have to download get-pip.py first and then run it with python.
Download get-pip from here.

commands and how can I install them?
This happens when Python executables are not added to PATH.
#xyres provided a nice link on how to do this.
I want to use pip, but before to install that, I need to execute the following command
using the downloaded get-pip.py program:
pip should be bundled with the official Python installer, so there should be no need to get it from other sources
I have installed python 2.7.11 from this link and then restarted my system. However when I go to cmd and run python --version. It gives me an error that
python not recognized as an internal or external command.
So I try to manually add it to my Path variable I see my python being installed at C:\Python27 so I add someotherpath;C:\Python27 to path variable and reopened windows cmd. But it still gives me the same error.
Is there some other way to get over with this problem.
Thanks
Please run the following command in the command prompt.
echo %PATH%
It should have whatever path you have set manually. Otherwise Open a new Command prompt and try the same command.
Run python
If it is not working after that.
Please kindly check the Python.exe is available in C:\Python or Not ?
Changes in PATH variable do not affect already open programs. Close your command line (or powershell) window and reopen it in order to use new PATH variable.
I got same error there are two ways to solve
1)Try using py --version
2)If py is also not recognised than uninstall python and install it again but select the add to path optionas show in fig this time
Easiest way to fix this is to reinstall Python and check "Add to Path" button during the installation.
Python2.7 contains a scripts that adds location to path for windows.
So running
C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\win_add2path.py
solved my issue
I have just installed Anaconda on my computer because I need to use Numpy.
Well, when I use python I for some reason have to be in the same folder as python.exe and, of course, now that I want to use Anaconda I have to be in the Anaconda3\Scripts folder where python.exe isn't. This is a nightmare, how can I use anaconda with python on a windows computer? Why does it have to be so complicated?
I think you are referring to the command-line use of python?
If you have admin priviliges on your machine you can add python to your environment variables, making it available in the console anywhere. (Sorry for different spellings, I am not on an english machine)
Press Shift+Pause ("System")
Click "Advanced System Options"
Click "Environment variables"
In the lower field with "System variables" there is a variable called PATH. Append the complete path to your python.exe without the file to that by adding a ; behind the last path in the variable and then adding your path. Do not add any spaces!
Example: C:\examplepath\;C:\Python27\
When you install anaconda on windows now, it doesn't automatically add Python or Conda to your path.
If you don’t know where your conda and/or python is, you type the following commands into your anaconda prompt (it comes when you install anaconda)
Next, you can add Python and Conda to your path by using the setx command in your command prompt.
Next close that command prompt and open a new one. You should now be able to use the python command. To do this you open a command prompt and type
python nameofPythonfile.py
Source: https://medium.com/#GalarnykMichael/install-python-on-windows-anaconda-c63c7c3d1444
To be able to do that in the command line you just have to add Python and also the Anaconda3\Scripts directory to your system path.
Here is a good tutorial on setting your path in Windows:
