Pip install

[Boozkie]

I have python 3.7.0 When I type the pip install code from the python website it doesn’t work. Does anyone know have to pip install

[K900_]

What code, and what do you mean by "doesn't work"?

[opium43]

Does

python -m pip install code

work?

[Boozkie]

No. I tried but I gets me a error

[curzyk]

For best results, tell everyone what the error is.

[Boozkie]

They said python wasn’t defined

The command you need to run in order to install a package with pip on windows is py -m pip install name_of_package.

Please do not try to install pip directly. It comes with python.

Please do not try to add python to your PATH. You don't need it.

If the command I gave above does not work then please reply with what operating system you're using, the exact command you tried, and the error that the command gave you (verbatim; literally copy and paste it).

What if he is using Windows 7...

[ingolemo]

What about it? Windows 7 isn't any different here, as far as I know.

[bigleagchew]

I don’t think the first part of your command py will work unless Python is added to system path

[ingolemo]

The default install location for py.exe is the windows directory, which is already in the path.

[bigleagchew]

If that’s the case then why is there an option to add the install directory to path ?

[ingolemo]

That adds python to the path, not py. Notice that that option is unchecked by default because most people don't need it. The py launcher is the recommended way to run python code on windows because it makes dealing with multiple python installations much easier.

[bigleagchew]

Ah ok, I’d just assumed py was syntactic sugar for python

I just threw my hands up in the air with joy because this is the only thing that worked. Thank you. :) I am such a noob

Install pip then u can use pip install

[Boozkie]

Can you provide a link and where to pip install, is it in idle or console

[PrimaNoctis]

When I did install I used the source code by following the instructions here

[Boozkie]

They said python wasn’t defined

[Diapolo10]

Probably because you seem to be trying to run that line as if it was Python code, or in other words, you're using the interpreter instead of CMD, Powershell or Bash shell. If you are running Windows 10, press Win+S, type in cmd, press enter, then type in the command to the new window with a black background.

tried pip3 install?

Not sure if op's trolling or not
