FAQ

Why is pip not recognized as an internal or external command?

In Windows, if the error 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command appears, add the installation paths of Python and pip to the Path environment variable. In most cases, the installation path of pip is the Scripts folder in the Python installation directory.
