INSTALLING PIP ON WINDOWS

Sometimes you need to use utilities of Linux on windows as well. So if you want to execute commands in the command prompt just like linux shell follow this post.


1. Download and uncompress the latest pip version from here






2. Now you need to download the installer for Windows so you need to follow this link and downloa exe file and install it.




3. Now you need to copy the pip folder's content(not the folder) in the folder where your python is installed. A path like C:\Python2X(X means the version of your python) directory.


4. Add your python c:\Python2x\Scripts to the path. See my this post to get an idea how to add environment variables to path

You are good to go. Type pip install <package_name> and you are done.
Happy Linux life in Windows...:)
