Unable to download Python on Windows System

Question

I'm having trouble getting python to work on my Windows 10 computer. I downloaded 3.5.2 off the website and ran the exe, but when I try to use

pip install nltk

So I copied and ran get-pip.py, but it still tells me "pip" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

python -m pip install pip

tells me that python is also not recognized. What should I do?

EDIT: Have tried reinstalling python, made sure the box to install pip was checked. Tried re-running the pip command in the Python command line (the one titled Python 3.5 (32-bit)) and it gave me an invalid syntax error on the word install.

Answer 1

When installing "the exe", make sure that you tick the checkbox labelled "Add Python 3.5 to PATH". That will solve the issue you mentionned.
