I have installed python using Anaconda platform, The problem is that when I want to install Django through command prompt, it shows an error 'pip is not recognized as an internal or external command.' Please suggest a solution. Thanks in advance. :)

AFAIK, In anaconda platform you can't use pip, you have to use conda. And to install django in anaconda platform, try running the following command, conda install django.

Or try this url https://www.coresumo.com/install-django-on-anaconda/

you can also try conda install pip and then continue as normal python environment after creating the virtual environment.

try conda create --name myenv and then activate the environment using myenv\source\activate and then install pip using conda install pip after that you can install django. follow this link after the process for better understanding and there also guide lines to install Django in the newly created virtual environment.

  • The issue is accessing pip. Even using a virtual environment wouldn't help if python isn't added to the system path. – Samay Gupta May 12 '20 at 06:28

    I think that can be accessed through virtual environment created using `conda create --name my-env pip` and then he should be able access pip, since it creates a whole new environment, if he is not able to create virtual environment then it might be the path variable issue of windows. – Santhosh Reddy May 12 '20 at 06:31
  • But it also shows that conda is not a recognized as internal or external command. – Prasun Parate May 12 '20 at 07:18
  • Then it might be path variable issue of windows – Santhosh Reddy May 12 '20 at 07:19
  • try adding in system environment variable, add path `c\users\prasun\anaconda3\scripts` – Santhosh Reddy May 12 '20 at 07:22

Just do these steps:-

1) create a virtual environment and activate the same virtual environment.

2) then install Django with pip.

If you are using Ubuntu then run below command on terminal.

$ mkvirtualenv <virtual_env_name> or virtualenv <virtual_env_name>
$ workon <virtual_env_name> or source <virtual_env_name>/bin/activate
$ conda install pip
$ conda install django or pip install django

for window user refer http://www.learnexia.com/?p=857 and https://anaconda.org/anaconda/django
