I am having trouble installing any PIP module.

Steps/Precautions I have taken:

  1. I uninstalled Python and downloaded the most recent Python 3.6.2.
  2. PIP seems to be installed already C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\scripts\pip3.6 (also included are files: pip, pip3).
  3. pip install pyperclip returns

    'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

  4. In using many different forums and typing commands into CMD I come up with results like: "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
  5. When trying to refer to my folder location: "C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\scripts Access is denied."

Sorry for the common question, but I just cannot figure it out for my individual problem. I appreciate any kind effort to help.

Daniel.

  • Try using: >>>py -m pip install – Primusa Sep 21 '17 at 21:20
  • Looking at the install location for Python, definitely you are going to get `Access Denied` messages. Uninstall and install either in the default location, `C:\Python36` or in a location that does not admin privileges to access. That is the reason even when you run the command, the command is not recognised. unless you want to run `cmd` as administrator. – aspo Sep 21 '17 at 21:31

I think you should restart your computer. If that doesn't work, go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables.

In the system variables you should go to Path and add the folder containing the pip.exe to your path.

If your Python installation works at all with the command line, then replacing pip with python -m pip in the command line is likely to fix the issue for you.

Thanks for all the help, guys. Between your answers and another post, I figured it out.

Apparently, my installation location (and program files) for Python was preventing me from installing pyperclip. I bypassed this issue by running CMD as an administrator (see Stack Article .I will still reinstall elsewhere.

Cheers,

Daniel.
