A thousand views and 18 thumbs ups. come on people stroke this man's ego a little and give him a thumbs up if this helps you.

You have to set environment variable before using pyp if installing library already is in site-packages of main system interpreter: set PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1

your video solved my problem thnx from pakistan

[francoGump]

with UPBGE: -m pip install numpy
of course numpy it's an example! In first execution pip askme to upgrade pip.

Please show us Mac users how to do this! I’ve installed python Pillow on my Mac, but I don’t know how to install it in Blender.

If "No module named ensurepip":
run python get-pip.py (in command window from the blender/.../python/bin folder)

[stefankarlssonse]

This approach is dangerous and should be avoided. You do not know what other components you might break by upgrading a single module (numpy). You could get all kinds of errors in the future with completely different modules, because they are in turn dependent on the version of numpy that was just removed. Virtualenv is a tool for solving this sort of thing, but its not clear how that could be incorporated in the blender addon development.

Have Blender installed in a different location then its default folder (let's say C:\Users\myname\Downloads). Even if I open the Shell in this lib folder (double checked the directory), pip always installs the Scripts folder and modules in my folder instead of where the Shell is opened. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

[rahulpeter]

cant find scripts folder in python even after ensurepip worked

[SanderEwen]

Hi, I installed pip before. In powershell it states that the 'requirement already is statisfied' and gives the location. It's not the 'script' folder, as in your tutorial, but a pip folder inside the lib\site-packages folder of Blender 2.93. However, when I navigate to this folder, I can't see the pip3.7.exe file (or another version). What am I doing wrong?

[driaodrums]

I cant do it. When i try to ensurepip, i get: No module named ensurepip. Super frustrating

[Andromora]

Hi... I have followed your instructions, however I cannot get installed the module I need to use in Blender 2.81. It is a bit confusing when you open the powershell, however I did my best to follow you, but with no success.
