I ran:
python -m pip --version
And it returned:
pip 8.1.2 from C:\Users\myonl\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages (python 3.5)
So I set my path to the above, but when I try to actually use pip I get:
pip install PyQt4
'pip' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
What am I doing wrong?
The first time you do python -m pip, the second time you do pip.
pip is not on your PATH, but python is. You can fix that, or you can call it using python -m pip.
Also possible is that you simply need to refresh your console window so it picks up the change you've made to PATH. Try closing your terminal and re-opening it and seeing if you have the same problem.

Inside my pycharm package section pip (v:21.3.1) is showing as installed but when running pip commands it shows following error
pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
use !pip that might help. Else, try to see pip list and uninstall the package and try uninstalling using '!pip', this takes directly outside the main terminal.
My guess is that you are not inside the Pycharm virtual environment.
Try to go to the terminal/command line and go to the project directory,
you should look for 'venv' directory.
Than activate the virtual enviorment.
terminal:
source /venv/Scripts/activate (run activate.sh file)
command line
call /venv/Scripts/activate (run activate.bat file)
and then you will be able to run pip
Solution 1:
Install packages within pycharm & run the code within pycharm
Solution 2:
Find python.exe in the install directonary, open cmd in the folder and run following:
python.exe -m pip install ...
Solution 3:
activate the venv (you can find instructions on google or use the one from the dude above)
This might help
python -m pip install <package name>
Different solutions to this problem:
First: you are not on the pycharm terminal but on the power-shell terminal
(if so, use the drop-down menu to the right of the +)
edit: if you opened the file/folder without creating a project, pip won't work in it (using a virtual env anyway)
Second : you have a python3 environment
(use pip3 instead)
Last : your path is badly configured (not a big problem, passing by python -m pip ... it will work (or python3 or other version installed))
Finally, except in very specific cases
file->setting->python Interpreter allows you to install anything you want without command line

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've tried severally to install Pandas-Profiling on my windows 10 cmd using "pip install pandas-profiling" but it doesn't work. I've also tried installing it on conda but its the same story. I need help installing this please.
I also had the same problem. It didn't work with a normal pip install. I fixed it by running the following command in anaconda prompt:
conda install -c anaconda pandas-profiling
You can find the full documentation here.
Hope it helps :)
if you don't provide the error message, we can't help you.
If you have the following error message:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
It means that Python is not added to your Path environment variable. How to fix it:
First solution: Adding Python to the Path by going in your environment variables, in System Variables click on Path then Edit, and in the grid, add your Python's path (which may be C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python<version>\). You can also add Python yo the Path by uninstall it and install it again and in the installer, make sure you check "Add Python to PATH"
Second solution: You can run pip by putting python3 -m before you pip command, like that: python3 -m pip install pandas-profiling.
I have been able to find a solution to the error message. I had to install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools, then I launched it and did the installation through it using ‘pip install pandas-profiling’ you can download using the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
For me it only works also if putting "py"
so:
py -m pip install pandas-profiling
In the command prompt.
When I look up tutorials on Python almost every one starts with "Start of with pip install bs4" but they never tell me about how. Because when I write "pip install bs4" in my cmd the answer I get is only
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I've tried running "pip install bs4" in PyCharm as well but nothing works.
I am a totally a beginner, which you probably already noticed, and just want to get beautifulsoup.
I'm going to assume you're on Windows since your error message contains "batch file". Try:
py -m pip install bs4
The -m flag will import the pip module, and allow you to run the install command. If running py doesn't work, try the absolute path to your python.exe.
This is the official site that shows you how to download and install python pip
pretty much just download the file, open up the command prompt, cd to file directory and run it with:
python get-pip.py
I'm following a course on Udemy: Automate the Boring Stuff using Python. For one of the courses the guide asks me to install Pyperclip. Now I've tried this, but cmd keeps returning: " 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable or batch file
The path I use is "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\pip.exe", I've tried it without the pip.exe, but then it also returns an error.
Fixed it, I tried out "C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\pip.exe install pyperclip", and it worked.
Python3 has pip embedded, so you can use python3 directly to install it:
python3 -m pip install <package>
