Well, this is an error you'll have to face multiple times in the future. It's pretty self-explanatory. It means that 'pip' does not exist in your system. To fix this either: 1. Reinstall python (using the installer) and make sure that you've checked the 'pip' checkbox OR 2. Download 'pip.exe' manually and then add it to 'PATH'.

To expand on what Tony has said. you should either reinstall python but since you are trying to use pip already. I am going to guess you already have python and if you do then find the python location (default should be: C:\program files (x86)\Python3\bin) and then add to path.
