How do you open pip? - Fox_cutter12 - May-02-2018
I've downloaded and installed the files for pip and python but how do you open and use pip?
Because when I search pip in my start menu and then select it, it just flashes a command prompt for a second and then nothing.

pip is a command line tool, you use in the system command prompt along with parameters passed to it.
Here are two simple guides (link1, link2).

I looked at link1 it made no sense when I read the how to use part please explain.

Have you tried to do what the guide says? Did something not work?
Here is a broader explanation from the official site, if you want to dig deeper.
