Pip installs to anaconda directory instead python's directory (Windows)

Whenever I try to install package with pip (using wheel or just regular pip install numpy ->e.g), pip installs new package to location where Anaconda holds its site-packages. How do I remove that? That started happening since I installed Anaconda which I use for some tasks as python interpreter, but now I need my regular python installation.

If you have Python 3 installed but you see that which pip points to your Anaconda installation, try using pip3 instead - if it is available then you will see that which pip3 points to your Pythons installation path instead of your Anaconda path. Same with which python3.

Instead of just writing pip instal ... in the command line, which apparently points to your Anaconda installation, you can navigate (using the cd command) to your Python installation and invoke the pip.exe file located somewhere there.

I guess you could try renaming one of pip.exe files (the one in Anaconda or the one in Python) to something else (e.g. pipanadonda.exe), and then you will be able to call them separately from the command line.
