I tried to install pip and I got this error:

[33m  WARNING: The scripts pip.exe, pip3.8.exe and pip3.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.[0m

What does it mean? How to fix it?

thanks in advance

It means that you’ve installed the Python binaries, but they won’t be found when you just type python into the terminal.

You will either need to type the entire path, or add the installation directory to your system’s PATH variable, as described in another Stack Overflow discussion.

  • I have Python and pip in my path from a fresh installation of Python 3.8 and I got this warning when installing my first package with pip. A restart of Powershell seemed to fix it. – Moustache Feb 07 '21 at 18:25
