I am using Python 3.5 and I'm trying to install some modules with pip, but I've had a bunch of difficulties. When I first typed pip install pandas into the Command Prompt, I got this error message:

'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I went to ('pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command), and it said to add the path of my pip installation. So I typed the following into my command prompt:

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users\sachg\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts"

This returned:

SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.

But now when I type pip install pandas, I get:

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

Help?

  • Did you install pip properly? http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2010/02/how-install-pip-ubuntu/ – Illusionist Aug 04 '16 at 15:41
  • Shouldn't it already be installed when using Python 3.5? – Sachit Gali Aug 04 '16 at 15:52
  • I am not sure since i havent used 3.5, can you try this ? sudo apt-get install python3-pip – Illusionist Aug 04 '16 at 15:54
  • Actually I think I just got it to work- I just had to type C:\Users\sachg\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts\pip install pandas. Earlier I was typing only pip install pandas, without the whole path – Sachit Gali Aug 04 '16 at 16:13

I also had this error 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command what i did is.. I have two python 3.5 and 2.7 environments on my machine.instantly its refer to pyhon2.7 when i use pip install XXX or python -m pip install XXX so its update relevant packages in the python27 environment. the solution for me was the change command to python35 -m pip install XXX(assumed you should set path environment for python35). you can see update directory refer to python35 done
