wget is not recognized as a command even though it is installed

I know I am doing something really stupid here but I have tried the things I can think of.

Here is the relevant portion of my session:

$ wget http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/
-bash: wget: command not found
$ cd ..
$ pip install wget
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): wget in
    ./anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$

I have restarted my computer and that does not help. I am using Mac OX X with the El Capitan system installed. Does this have something to do with the PATH variable? I found something on the internet that seemed similar to my problem with another program on the Windows system, but I have found nothing for the Mac OS. I tried installing it from my root directory but the system won't let pip install it because it is already installed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

EDIT: I would like to thank Max, Bill and kenorb. I have learned more here for free in 10 minutes than I have in a week at some commercial sites. Is there some way to mark my question as answered so that people don't have to keep wasting their time reading my question?

Solution

Use some OS X package manager like Homebrew (brew) or MacPorts, as pip is used for python modules:

brew install wget
