How do I install pip on Windows?

Question

I read that pip is a replacement for easy_install, Can anyone tell me, How can I install pip using easy_install on windows or there's another better option?

Answer 1

Python 3.4+ have pip builtin, for versions below just follow these instructions:

1. Download the latest pip version using this link:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip#downloads
2. You need to uncompress it as it's an .rar file.
3. Download and install the easy installer for windows using http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
4. Now copy the uncompressed folder files into C:\Python2x\ folder (copy only contents of folder).
5. Run python setup.py install
6. Add the python C:\Python2x\Scripts to the path.

Work Done, Cheers...!!
