pythonpipwindows-10

The term 'pip' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet on windows 10 despite successful installation

Here I check the installed version of pip py -m pip --version

pip 21.0.1 from C:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

Now I try to run a pip command

pip install pip --target $HOME\\.pyenv 

pip: The term 'pip' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Solution

  • Add the scripts folder to PATH

    C:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts

    or

    C:\Python39\Scripts (depending on how you have installed python locate and add python/scripts folder)
