"The system cannot execute the specified program" on pip install

I just installed pip using get-pip.py and now I am trying to install pygame.

pip install pygame

But it returns an error. 

The system cannot execute the specified program

It depends on the location you are running the command from. You should not run it on the directory where pip itself is installed. Just run it at a top level just like you run the Python command.

Jonrsharpe if you are using Linux, my guess is to try installing the dependencies for Pygame. 

sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame
sudo apt-get install python-dev

Hopefully this fixes your issue.
