Error with pip install: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Question

I'm not familiar with Python, just trying to implement some software so please ELI5 if you can.

I was instructed to download Python, PyWin32, and Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. I attached the links to the versions, these are downlaod links.

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.14/python-2.7.14.amd64.msi https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20221/pywin32-221.win-amd64-py2.7.exe/download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=44266

When I go to cmd prompt to enter pip install pyOpenSSL

I get the error 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Answer 1

python 2.7 doesn't come with pip. you have to install it first. take a look at- How do I install pip on Windows?
