Having trouble installing Django from Windows cmd. "pip install django" showing error although PATH should be set

Question

My macbook got stolen so now I'm trying re-install Django using Windows (7) cmd. I did some research here in StackOverflow and couldn't find an answer that's working.

Used this question as a reference and set PATH using setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts": 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I'm now in C:\Python34 in the cmd and it's resulting in same "not recognized as an internal or external command" error.

When I try: C:\Python34\Scripts> pip install django it results in an 'Exception" error: Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\myname\pip\pip.log

I'm not sure what's going and I was wondering if there was a simpler way to approach the issue, since I'm very new to programming.

Thanks!

if you open the file C:\Users\myname\pip\pip.log in notepad what does it say? — tourdownunder, Feb 08 '15 at 02:49
perhaps you are having internet connectivity problems with pypi see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18958508/sslerror-the-read-operation-timed-out-when-using-pip — tourdownunder, Feb 08 '15 at 03:11

Best way to install python is to install a virtual environment per project. That way you will no longer have path issues.

C:\Python34-64\Scripts\pip3.4.exe install virtualenv -U
C:\Python34-64\Scripts\virtualenv-3.4.exe venv-test
.\venv-test\Scripts\activate
pip3.4.exe install setuptools -U

Note I have installed the 64 bit version of Python34 and the default directory is C:\Python34\

based on your edit, the path is not your issue, though it is something that may save issues. The other thing tricky with windows is when you need to compile dependencies. When you start to pip install xxxx and get Error messages about needing an compiler see http://blog.ionelmc.ro/2014/12/21/compiling-python-extensions-on-windows/ – tourdownunder Feb 08 '15 at 03:15

Thanks @darwindave, that seemed to have worked. I'm not sure what the problem was in the first place, but I'll look into internet connectivity and the link you posted. – exlo Feb 08 '15 at 03:25
With 3.3+ you also have the [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) module, e.g. `py -3 -m venv venv-test`. – Eryk Sun Feb 08 '15 at 07:00

Use and elevated Cmd Prompt and then py -3.4 -m ensurepip -U --default-pip to instal pip. After that use py -3.4 -m pip install Django==1.8.3
