我的电脑无法在 Python 3.8 上安装 pip

Question

I use Python 3.8.5 on Windows 10 but I still don't have pip attached with Python. I test with this

pip --version

I have followed the instruction in https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ but my computer just do nothing after I type in

python get-pip.py

Nothing appears, no error, no instruction and now I just don't know what to do to install pip. I found nobody having the same this error.

Answer 1

1. Download the get-pip file from this link. https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
2. Change the current path of the directory in the command line to the path of the directory where the above file exists.
3. Run the command : python get-pip.py
4. One can easily verify if the pip has been installed correctly by performing a version check on the same. Just go to the command line and execute pip -V
5. If still not working then edit the path variable in settings. ref link. 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Answer 2

Pip comes with Python 3.8, but is located in the Python38/Scripts directory which isn't added to the PATH environment variable by default on Windows. What is installed in the PATH is the Python Launcher...a tool to manage multiple installations of Python.

Run py -0 to see installed Pythons, and py -m pip to run pip under the latest version of Python installed.

If you do have multiple Python versions installed, py -3.8 -m pip will run pip under that specific version of Python.

Note that if you watch the installer, you do have the option to add the Python installation directory to the path, but if you plan to ever have multiple versions of Python installed it isn't recommended.
