new to python and trying to learn some data science, Ive downloaded python 3.8.3 for windows64 two the few things I learned at during the short free trial. when trying to install numpy I received a syntax error, even though pip was imported and the path is shown.

>>> pip
<module 'pip' from 'C:\\Users\\owner\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\lib\\site- 
packages\\pip\\__init__.py'>
>>> pip install numpy
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

typing python in windows command prompt just brings up the windows store on the python app, and typing pip doesn't find anything as well.

C:\Users\owner>pip
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.

in general, it seems that none of the commands that aren't print() or help() is working. what did I do wrong?

Make sure that you add Python to System Environment PATH when you are installing python.

Python Install

If you didn't try this command to add it to your PATH

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts"
