  • The latest Python 2.7 comes with pip. Run the installer again, and you'll see the option to select it – OneCricketeer Apr 24 '17 at 01:35
  • The last command `python -m install pip install pip` should be `python -m pip install pip` – anthony sottile Apr 24 '17 at 01:36
  • Did you mean to run `python -m pip install -U pip`? `python -m install` is not correct – OneCricketeer Apr 24 '17 at 01:36

  • Thank you all for your response. I read the link shared by @cricket_007. Solution: Update all .py files [firstline] inside /Scripts folder with current path of Python Home. You will notice it will be pointing to an older location. Then try running pip command from new CMD prompt, should work fine. – yellolion Apr 24 '17 at 03:24
