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

Hello Coders,
In this post, I will be telling you about one of the most common errors programmers come across in python. Its 'python pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
This error shows up on windows when one tries to use pip in the command prompt.
To solve this error on windows, you must declare path variable by following these steps:

Step 1 - Right click on My Computer or This PC
Step 2 - Click on Properties
Step 3 - Click on Advanced System Settings

You will find a section called system variables.
Click on Path from the list of variable and values that shows up there.
After clicking on path click edit. You will find a New button in the pop up.
Click that and paste the location of the python35 or python36 folder (The location you specified while installing python) followed by “\Scripts” there.
For me its “C:\Users\a610580\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32” so I type “C:\Users\a610580\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts”
Click Ok to close all windows and restart your command prompt.

Everything should now be working fine!
Make sure you don’t disturb anything else in the path variable and follow the aforementioned steps exactly.
Happy coding!

Buddy! For an hour I had the the path set up. If I had not searched for your golden nugget of your itty bitty detail i.e. "Restart your command prompt" then type "pip". I would have thrown my laptop across the room.
My laptop and I thank you! You earned a thumbs up!

Thank you so much! This solved my problem. I do think the way I installed Python was wrong, because in the "Environment Variables" tab I didnt have the python folder path and I guess that was causing problems as well. Any way this was very helpful :)
