pipenv install packages for python is not working

I am new to Python and therefore I am struggling to resolve the following problem. I installed pip and I made a user installation of pipenv and then on my project folder I run the command: 

pipenv install requests

which gives me an error saying that the pipenv command either wrong or cannot be found.

I added following path on my system environment variables the :

C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts

but still it does not work. Does anyone have an idea as to what I should do next in order to fix this? Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

My operating system is Windows.

Here is how I installed pip through cmd


C:\Users\andri>python -m pip install -U pip

Solution

  • pip is actually helpfully warning you about this situation right there...

    The script virtualenv-clone.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH... The script virtualenv.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH... The scripts pipenv-resolver.exe and pipenv.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH...

    You will need to add that directory

    C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts

    to your PATH environment variable; there are many ways to do it, see e.g. Adding directory to PATH Environment Variable in Windows

    Another option is to just always use

    C:\...> C:\Users\andri\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts\pipenv install

    but I think that might get a little stale quickly.
