Easy install is not recognized

I installed easy install it is in my scripts folder. I set my path variable. When I type python in cmd it works, but no matter what I try if I type easy_install it says it is not recognized. I am trying to install pip and then pytmx. is there an easier way to install pytmx? or can someone please walk me through this so I can get this working.

new variable PY_HOME value C:\Python27 path variable %PY_HOME%;%PY_HOME%\Lib;%PY_HOME%\DLLs;%PY_HOME%\Lib\lib-tk;C:\Python27\scripts python version 2.7.8 windows 7 professional

Update uninstalled all versions of python reinstalled version 2.7.9 now pip is not a recognized command python is still recognized and give me a version number. I still cannot install pytmx.

Solution

  • I figured it out I needed to cd c:\python27\scripts, then use the pip install tmx command. Nothing I read anywhere suggested I had to run cmd from the directory that pip was in.
