I'm using Anaconda on Windows x64. I'm trying to install some library using pip. However, the the command line isn't recognizing pip or any other scripts. The folder that they are all in is in both the user and system PATH variable. pip is there and works if I use the entire file path. Is there a way to fix this?

The error “'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command” is encountered because of two main reasons that are. PIP Installation path is not added to the system variables: If you have installed python through prompt then you need to configure PIP path manually.
Both pip and conda are included in Anaconda and Miniconda, so you do not need to install them separately. Conda environments replace virtualenv, so there is no need to activate a virtualenv before using pip. It is possible to have pip installed outside a conda environment or inside a conda environment.
Do this worked for me:
conda install pip
and try:
pip install package_name
When creating your environment, you need to specify pip as a dependency:
conda create --name my-env pip
activate my-env
pip install ...
Installing a new environment with all default anaconda packages:
conda create --name my-env anaconda
I worked for me if I start cmd and do cd C:\Users\ComputerName\Python27\Scripts Then I typed in 'pip install "library"' and it worked! If you don't know how to access cmd just press Win+R and type in cmd!
Hope it helped!
