pip not working in python 3.5 on Windows 7

Question

I have installed python 3.5 on my Windows 7 machine. When I installed it, I marked the check box to install pip. After the installation, I wanted to check whether pip was working, so I typed pip on the command line and hit enter, but did not respond. The cursor blinks but it does not display anything.

Please help.

Regards.

I was having the same problem on Windows 10, This is how I fix it:

1. Click the search icon and type System Environment
2. In System Properties click on Environment Variables
3. In System Variables tab click New
4. Enter PYTHON3_SCRIPTS for the variable name and C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts for Variable Value. Don't forget to change (YOUR USER NAME) in the path with your user, And to change your Python version or just go to this path to check it C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
5. Click OK
6. Click NEW again!
7. Enter PYTHON3_HOME for the variable name and C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\ for Variable Value. Don't forget to change (YOUR USER NAME) in the path with your user, And to change your Python version or just go to this path to check it C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
8. Click OK
9. Find Path in the same tab select it and click Edit
10. Click New and type %PYTHON3_SCRIPTS% Then click OK

Now, everything is set. Restart your Terminal and pip should be working now.

Answer 5

I had the same problem with Version 3.5.2.

Have you tried py.exe -m install package-name? This worked for me.

Answer 6

As soon as you open a command prompt, use:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

then

python -m pip install <<package-name>>

If you are working in Pycharm, an easy way is go to file>setting>project interpreter. Click on the + icon you will find on right side probably and then search and install required library.

Answer 8

For those with several python versions of python 3 installed in windows: I solved this issue by executing the pip install command directly from my python35 Scripts folder in cmd...for some reason pip3 pointed to python 34 even though python 35 was set first in environmental variables.

Answer 9

I had the issue, and answered this same question sometimes ago. Do open a cmd if in windows OS or linux OS with admistrative privilege. Then python -m pip install --upgrade pip

then

python -m pip install <>

Answer 10

Working on windows and above version than 3.0

First upgrade pip to pip3 by following command:

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools pip

Then install maximum package by following command:

pip3 install <package_name>

I never wrote all package because some package not support to pip or pip3 command.
