I am trying to accomplish pip install formulas however keep getting this error

C:\Python27>python.exe c:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install formulas
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "c:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module>

Install pip on your system

download get-pip.py

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing get-pip.py.

Run the following command:

python get-pip.py

pip is now install !!

You can verify that Pip was installed correctly by opening a command prompt and entering the following command:

pip -V

Or Upgrade PIP using:

python -m pip install -U pip

I have had a similar problem with this. Make sure pip is installed (python get-pip.py) and that you're in the python folder in the terminal (the version you're working with)
