Re: 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command
**You need to add the path of your pip installation to your PATH system variable**. By default, pip is installed to `C:\Python34\Scripts\pip` (pip now comes bundled with new versions of python), so the path "C:\Python34\Scripts" needs to be added to your PATH variable.
To check if it is already in your PATH variable, type `echo %PATH%` at the CMD prompt
**To add the path of your pip installation to your PATH variable**, you can use the Control Panel or the `setx` command. For example:
```
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts"
```
**Note**:
According to the [official documentation](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755104%28v=ws.11%29.aspx), "[v]ariables set with setx variables are available in future command windows only, not in the current command window". In particular, *you will need to start a new cmd.exe instance* after entering the above command in order to utilize the new environment variable.
