Problems with installing pip on Windows 10

Question

I have installed Python 3.8.1 on my laptop. I wasn't successful in installing pip from the command prompt.

1. I opened the command prompt, went to were the file get-pip.py is located and ran the command python get-pip.py and nothing happened.
2. I then went to advanced systems settings/system properties/environment variables and edited the Path, put C:\\Python38\\scripts. I then tried again to run the command python get-pip.py but nothing happened

I'd appreciate any assistance, thanks

Please be careful that you are actually wanting to run a specific file, hence, the directory that you are in also needs to be the right one. You can not just run the files randomly by opening cmd. First head on where your "get-pip.py" file is, then try to run the command again, and let us know the result.
