I can't install 'pip' for python
Whenever I've installed pip on my Windows machine, it installs to my Python's Scripts folder:
c:\Python34\Scripts
So to get pip to run on the command line, I had to add that path to my PATH environment variable. You can get to those settings by doing the following (assuming Windows 7 or newer):
- Right click My Computer and choose
Properties
- Go to Advanced system settings
- Click on the
Environment Variables
button - Double-click the PATH (or Path) variable listed under
System variables
- Add
c:\Python34\Scripts
to the end of the list of other paths making sure that it is separated from the previous entry with a semi-colon
Restart your shell and try running pip. If it still doesn't work, you need to find out where pip got installed. In my Scripts folder, I have a pip.exe
file. If you do not, then adding the Scripts
folder to your path won't help. You'll have to figure out where it got installed and add that path instead.
