'pip' is not recognized as a command

Question

I installed pip-8.1.1. The windows prompted that it was successfully installed. After I added 'C:\\Python27\\Scripts;' to Path in System Variables, the system still couldn't recognize 'pip' as a command. Here is the error message: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

How do I correctly add pip to Path?

Answer 1

Try opening a new command prompt and run pip from that. Sometimes changes to environment variables don't propagate to already-open prompts.
