'pip' is not recognized on python 2.7.12

Question

when I try to install beautiful soup with pip, this always happens

C:\Python27>pip install beautifulsoup4
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have tried to uninstall python 2.7.12 but when I try, it says that there is a problem with the windows installer package

EDIT:pip is installed under C:\Python27\Scripts

In Python 3.6, pip is located in a subdirectory named 'Scripts' below the location of Python.exe. Did you look on your drive to see where pip is actually located? — Ken White, Apr 19 '17 at 22:12
If pip is indeed installed, try `python -m pip install beautifulsoup4`. — , Apr 19 '17 at 22:15

pip is in the Scripts subdirectory. Try this instead:

C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install beautifulsoup4
