'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command in Django

I'm facing an error when trying to install Django on my computer.

This is the sequence that I 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?

This is what I get when I type in echo %PATH%:


C:\Python34>echo %PATH%

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"

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-.

For Windows, when you install a package, you type:
python -m pip install [packagename]
