How to install pandas from pip on windows cmd?

Question

I am trying to install pandas using pip to run some pandas-based Python programs. I already installed pip. I tried googling and SO'ing but didn't find a solution to this error. Can somebody share your inputs on this?

C:\> pip install pandas

Error:

pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Answer 1

Please Ensure you are using a virtualEnv this is how :

virtualenv -p python3 envname

source env/bin/activate
pip install pandas

on windows you have to add scripts exe in the CLASSPATH in order to use pip command

C:\Python34\Scripts\pip3.exe

i suggest you to use MINGW he can gives you a better environment to work with python

Reply to abccd and Question to anyone:

The command: C:\Python34\Scripts>py -3 -m pip install pandas executed just fine. Unfortunately, I can't import Pandas.

Directory path: C:\users\myname\downloads\miniconda3\lib\site-packages

My Question: How is it that Pandas' dependency packages(numpy, python-dateutil, pytz, six) also having the same above directory path are able to import just fine but Pandas does not?

import pandas

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#9>", line 1, in <module>
    import pandas
ImportError: No module named 'pandas'

I finally got Pandas reinstalled and imported with the help of the following web pages: *http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/pandas.pdf (Pages 403 and 404 of 2215 ... 2.2.2 Installing Pandas with Miniconda) *https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/download.html *https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/getting-started.html

After installing Miniconda, I created a new environment area to get Pandas reinstalled and imported. This new environment included the current Python version 3.6.3. I could not import Pandas using Python 3.4.4.
