Cmd errors out when using pip [duplicate]

Question

Python is installed. Idlie works. Cmd is able to find the python app but is unable to find pip. Followed the installer and selected pip installation. Errors in command prompt:traceback (most recent call last): , line 1, in Nameerror: name 'pip's is not defined. What to do?!?!

pip should be used from command line (i.e. CMD), not from python interactive shell (i.e. that is when you have >>>). — buran

I used it in cmd. However the location doesnt actually have pip. I think that's my issue. I dont see a script folder. I should have to had my own script folder and add pip? It should be automatic in the installer? I have tried the method below and still says name pip is not defines — helloworld

Pip is more user friendly when used from cmd {Assuming you are on windows and have python installed}

Click on windows icon
Type cmd This would bring up the command prompt page
Browse through to where your python.exe is installed. You should also be seeing a folder called "Scripts". Open it.
Copy the folder path. It should be something like C:....\Python\Scripts\
Go back to the command prompt window.
Type cd C:....\Python\Scripts\ and press enter. This should change your current directory to the place where pip is.
To check your version of pip; type pip --version and press enter.
To install different modules via pip, type pip install (whatever without the brackets)
