Error message: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command
The Problem
I’ve just installed Python on my Windows computer and am now trying to install some libraries with PIP. However, whenever I run pip install something, I get the following error message:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Does pip come with Python? If not, how do I install it on Windows?
The Solution
Please refer to our article on installing and using PIP on Windows.
