Installing PIP Modules

I am having trouble installing any PIP module.

Steps/Precautions I have taken:

  1. I uninstalled Python and downloaded the most recent Python 3.6.2.
  2. PIP seems to be installed already C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\scripts\pip3.6 (also included are files: pip, pip3).
  3. pip install pyperclip returns

    'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

  4. In using many different forums and typing commands into CMD I come up with results like: "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
  5. When trying to refer to my folder location: "C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2>C:\Users\Danc2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\scripts Access is denied."

Sorry for the common question, but I just cannot figure it out for my individual problem. I appreciate any kind effort to help.

Daniel.

Solution

  • Thanks for all the help, guys. Between your answers and another post, I figured it out.

    Apparently, my installation location (and program files) for Python was preventing me from installing pyperclip. I bypassed this issue by running CMD as an administrator (see Stack Article .I will still reinstall elsewhere.

    Cheers,

    Daniel.
