Pip' Is Not Recognized as an Internal or External Command

pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

You need to add the path of your pip installation to your PATH system variable. By default, pip is installed to C:\Python34\Scripts\pip (pip now comes bundled with new versions of python), so the path "C:\Python34\Scripts" needs to be added to your PATH variable.

To check if it is already in your PATH variable, type echo %PATH% at the CMD prompt

To add the path of your pip installation to your PATH variable, you can use the Control Panel or the setx command. For example:

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts"

---

Note:
According to the official documentation, "[v]ariables set with setx variables are available in future command windows only, not in the current command window". In particular, you will need to start a new cmd.exe instance after entering the above command in order to utilize the new environment variable.

Thanks to Scott Bartell for pointing this out.

Pip Not recognized as an external command in cmd in windows

Your pip is not setup during installation, you can re-run the python installer and make sure to check the option to install pip or simply access pip using:

python3 -m pip 

All commands are the same,so you can install packages like:

python3 -m pip install cython

Hope this works for you!

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

if pip is installed the following will work for sure

open a python shell then

import pip

pip.main(['install', 'packagename'])

replace the packagename with the package you want to install

because of the path problem try to use absolute paths ( in windows beginning with drive letter i.e. C:/.../.../pip.exe). in batch script it is generally good idea to use absolute paths. Alternatively check if your path has to be fixed : https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

Operating systems search for executables in the system path. I.e. windows knows by default where its own executables are located because the directory is in the system path, however when new software is installed that contains executables like pip the system path has to be edited to inform windows ( or linux ) where the new executables are located. The path is an environment variable. This is also valid for other languages and programs like java ( Environment variables for java installation ) ,...
Now your problem very likely is that the directory where the pip.exe executable is stored is not part of your windows path. This has to be fixed like in https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html, chapter 3.3. Configuring Python
