Why does my Windows terminal not recognize pip?

Question

I have Python 3.10 and I am trying to install a python module but when I try to I get this:

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

Try pip3 instead of pip. Python should include pip after Python 3.4. — Shuo, Jun 30 '22 at 06:49

Go to your python path, usually C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python. In there, you should find a folder, like Python310. Open that folder and then find the folder called Scripts. In cmd, use the command cd C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python<version>\Scripts. Then use pip normally. It should work.
