python - pip is not recognized in Anaconda Prompt

Question

I'm using Anaconda on Windows x64. I'm trying to install some library using pip. However, the the command line isn't recognizing pip or any other scripts. The folder that they are all in is in both the user and system PATH variable. pip is there and works if I use the entire file path. Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

When creating your environment, you need to specify pip as a dependency:

conda create --name my-env pip
activate my-env
pip install ...

Installing a new environment with all default anaconda packages:

conda create --name my-env anaconda
