Python: command “python -m pip install --upgrade pip” doesn't work

[apollo]

hello dear experts, 


well i have no idea why the python things do not work here. 

the pc. Win 7

the idea: i want to install the newest python and some additional things. 




Python: command “python -m pip install --upgrade pip” doesn't work



I want to upgrade my pip, but if I type in "python -m pip install --upgrade pip", then my command shell says "cannot find 'python'". Python is already installed and my command shell can't detect the command "python", though.

well i have no glue whats going on here.

[metulburr]

it says in the last error message to run this command in which you never did

c:\program files\python37\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

then run in the command console this to verify you have the new version

pip -V

or full path equivalent

c:\program files\python37\python.exe -m pip -V

I want to upgrade my pip, but if I type in "python -m pip install --upgrade pip", then my command shell says "cannot find 'python'"

When you installed python did you make sure the box was checked for setting python to the PATH? If not then python and pip will not be recognized unless you use the full path (As the upgrade command i shown agove).

Did you read my answer in your lasted thread?

[WinError 5] check the permissions

Run cmd as administrator

Again look at Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows,it should take short time to fix this.
Then it work like this from any folder,always.
