pip install flask on windows bash not working

Question

I'm trying to pip install flask with bash on Ubuntu on windows 10, but it's not working. I have pip installed, and am running Python 3.5. A copy of the command line and exception error is below. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

scot@SCOTTS_PC:~$ cd Project
bash: cd: Project: No such file or directory
scot@SCOTTS_PC:~$ cd Projects
scot@SCOTTS_PC:~/Projects$ cd py
scot@SCOTTS_PC:~/Projects/py$ cd myflaskapp
scot@SCOTTS_PC:~/Projects/py/myflaskapp$ pip install flask

Answer 1

can you prefix with sudo ? so sudo pip install flask ? or if you on windows can you open the bash prompt with admin rights?
