Installing pip: python

Question

My problem is that pip is not installing on Windows. I have downloaded pip.py. Although, type pip in cmd I get:

NameError: name 'pip' is not defined.

Help please.

...try downloading [`get-pip.py`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html) and running that? — NightShadeQueen, Aug 08 '15 at 17:24
there should be something know as `get-pip.py` download it and `type python get-pip.py` then pip will be available this is in python 2.x — The6thSense, Aug 08 '15 at 17:25
Yes, I have already downloaded get-pip.py and ran python get-pip.py, and I get 'Ivalid Syntax' — Jengo, Aug 08 '15 at 17:27
@Jengo provided what you have done in your question and give what error you got — The6thSense, Aug 08 '15 at 17:28
Don't try to do these things at the Python prompt. Do them at the command line. — Kevin, Aug 08 '15 at 17:29
did you `type python get-pip.py` in the command prompt in the same dir as the file is — The6thSense, Aug 08 '15 at 17:31
@Jengo: No command line in the world gives "NameError" and "SyntaxError"; those are exclusively Python errors. You are typing this at the Python prompt. — Kevin, Aug 08 '15 at 17:32
You haven't set the python path in the environment variable, set it and calling `pip` should go fine, [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4855685/2425215) should help — K DawG, Aug 08 '15 at 17:32
@KDawG Thanks, is this right? C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath/C:\Python27\Scripts — Jengo, Aug 08 '15 at 17:38
@VigneshKalai Python is not recognized as an internal or external command. — Jengo, Aug 08 '15 at 17:43
that means python is not set in your path.try setting python to your path and try installing pip — The6thSense, Aug 08 '15 at 17:44
@VigneshKalai This is my current path : C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath/C:\Python27\Scripts — Jengo, Aug 08 '15 at 17:48
@VigneshKalai C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath/path %path%;C:\Python — Jengo, Aug 08 '15 at 18:14
@Jengo why are you adding it to java path .for more on setting path se [this](https://docs.python.org/2/using/windows.html) and [this one](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows-7) — The6thSense, Aug 09 '15 at 02:58

If you didn't set up the environment variable - it means that you need to be in the folder of pip.

So, if you installed pip in c:\pip. you need to browse to c:\pip to run pip.

Does it make sense?
