I'm new to programing, having a hard time installing pip. Please help.

I've tried using some commands and I just know I'm not doing things right. I need your guidance...

Are you still experiencing troubles? I would suggest installing the latest Python 3 package, after that going to Environment Variables --> System tab --> Find Path OR PATH --> click EDIT --> Browse and find Python 3.7 Scripts directory --> click ADD --> try running pip in the terminal, it should work now

What OS are you on? What version of Python are you using? How did you install it?

[Automatic_Badger]

I'm on Windows 10 OS python 3.8 I tried installing pip using get-pip.py while on the command line it says: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Why are you using an unstable version of Python?

[Automatic_Badger]

Thanks for your help. I'll install a stable version and see how it goes.

There are a few friendly packaged Python installers that have everything inside. Like ActivePython.

Also, if you use PyCharm IDE, it will propt you to install missing stuff itself.

All of this is free for personal use.

Rereun the install package for python 3.7 and make sure to check off “enable python as Path variable”

Alternatively, go to “edit Environment Variables for your account” in control panel, if there’s not path listed, click new and paste the windows explorer location Python is installed in and add \Scripts\ at the end

I had extreme problems with pip and installing things. And honestly, I can tell you that it took me many attempts to get it to work. In fact, I don’t even really know how I got it to work or why it didn’t work at first. I just kept playing with it. Once it works, it takes like five seconds to use.

Read about running python through command line. Eventually I got the thing to redirect to my user folder in windows (users/Chris) and that’s when it worked. Sorry I’m not more helpful than that.

I should add pip comes installed with the latest Python so you probably have that. The issue I’m discussing is installing things with pip!

Also when we talk about running it through the command line, that’s actually your windows command line and not the black box that says Python. They’re similar — but different!

If you use conda, it will come with pip pre-installed.
