Pip is not recognized?

Python Help
1

hello world!

I was trying to install a python library and it didn’t work!
for installing the library i typed the following:
pip install numpy
and i got the following error message:

pip : The term ‘pip’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1

  • pip install numpy
  •   + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

so i thought that the problem is coming from vs code but when i typed it in the cmd it gave me the following error message:

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

so the problem must have been coming from pip but when i checked for pip being installed i typed the following:
py -m ensurepip --upgrade
and it said that the requirement is already satisfied
this is really weird also i am using windows 11
what should I do?

Probably pip is not on the windows path. That is not bad per se.
You can try this “py -m pip”. Here you call the python launcher py.exe which seems to work on your system. With “-m pip” you command py to run the module pip: You should see the help of pip.
If this works, you can try “py -m pip install numpy”.
