Getting Started Assistant on Windows 10: chocolatey install python does not provide pip3

[Markus Tacker (he/him)]

Hei,

I am following the Install the toolchain section and after running 

choco install python

the step does not verify because it does not find pip3.

'pip3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What is the proper way to get pip3 on Windows?

Hi.

It might be an issue where the Environmental Variable - Path isn't added for pip3.

On Windows, pip3 should be in the Scripts folder of your Python installation;
C:\path\to\python\Scripts\pip3

You should be able to use the command;

where python

to find out where the Python executables are located.

Make sure that the Path to pip3 is added to your Environmental Variables  - Path.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Hei,

there is no pip3 executable in the folder which Python was installed to: C:\Users\mata\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts ...

Strange.

Maybe you could try uninstalling Python and install from python.org instead?

Regards.
