There are two solutions to this problem:-

You can use this command by adding -m flag. The -m flag stands for module name and allows you to pass a module at the time of invoking Python.:-

python -m pip install selenium
Or you can directly download the source distribution from here according to your requirement , unarchive and then run it using this command:-

python setup.py install
