pip doesn't work in Eclipse on Windows 8 (Python 3.4)

Question

When I try to type "pip install " or "easy_install ", Python can't recognize the commands (I get a name error). My system's Path variable is "C:\\Python34\\Scripts;C:\\Python34". I've tried to use pip through the Python command line as well as Eclipse with the PyDev module. I know pip is supposed to come installed with Python 3.4. What's going wrong?

To run pip under Windows, you need to use the Windows command line program cmd.exe . Open the Run dialog with Win R , then type cmd and hit Enter . The command line will open up, and you should be able to type, for example, pip install requests to install the requests module.
