'pip' is not recognized as an internal or

Question

I'm running into a weird error trying to install Django on my computer.

This is the sequence that I've typed into my command line:

C:\Python34>python get-pip.py
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python34\lib\site-packages
Cleaning up...

C:\Python34>pip install Django
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Python34>lib\site-packages\pip install Django
'lib\site-packages\pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. 

What could be causing this?

Answer 1

also, the long method - it was a last resort after trying all items above:

c:\python27\scripts\pip.exe install [package].whl

this after cd in directory where the wheel is located

Answer 2

I realize this is an old question, but I was having the same problem just now. After adding the proper folder (C:\Python33\Scripts) to the path, I still could not get pip to run. All it took was running pip.exe install -package- instead of pip install -package-. Just a thought.

Answer 3

I had this same issue. You just need to go to your

C:\Python27\Scripts

and add it to environment variables. After path setting just run pip.exe file on C:\Python27\Scripts and then try pip in cmd. But if nothing happens try running all pip applications like pip2.7 and pip2.exe. And pip will work like a charm.

Answer 4

I have just installed python 3.6.2.

I got the path as

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts

Answer 5

Try uninstall Python, delete the remaining program files, then install it again fresh. It worked for me. This error happened to me when I migrate to a new laptop and used a migration software to move my software from the old laptop to the new one. And yeah, didn't work quite well.

Answer 6

Go to control Panel >> Uninstall or change Program and double click on Python XXX to modify install. Make sure PIP component is checked and install.
