Python 3.9 pip install

Question

I recently downloaded and installed Python 3.9 because I wanted to run a website scraper to more easily organize recipes found online. However, when I try to run pip it says it doesn't recognize it (and I have tried editing the path but every video or site I find has different information).

Even a basic check of my Python version comes back with no results:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Python 3.9 but to no avail. There is also no scripts file within my python file and my computer doesn't even seem to recognise that Python is installed.

Answer 1

In python 3.9 you can add below path(scripts path) to your environment variable

C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts

Once the path is added, open a fresh CMD window and type pip --version.

You can see your pip version pip 20.2.4

Answer 2

I found that for Python 3.9 if you enter the command as py -m pip install, the installation initiates as expected.

Answer 3

I finally can use pip install. Here is how I do it:

1. Run python 3.6.9-adm64.exe

2. Choose Modify

3. Tick all boxes and click Next

4. Tick [Create shortcuts...appplication](not important) and Add Python to environment variables and click Install

5. Now run CMD and type:

   py -m pip install (name) //pygame for example
   

Now I installed pygame easily.
