pip install gives me this error "can't open file 'pip': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

I have tried using pip -m install win32api, but I still get the error "can't open file 'pip': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

Can anyone help me on this?

Note: I have renamed the python.exe file as python2 and python3, since I have both versions installed on my pc.

In my case the problem was that i had not installed pip3 so there was no directory for it so i fixed it with installing pip3

sudo apt install python3-pip

and then checked the version of pip `

pip3 --version

and installed every package with

pip3 install Django=4.2.2

you can install any component this is just for example.

In my case I fix path problem.

C:\Users\Chhaya\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages

I put above path in path variable, step1: right click on this PC, click on properties step2:click on Advance system setting, new window will pop up step3:click on Environment varible, you will see PATH ,edit path & put above path which in my case, if you install in other drive find out path like Python36\Lib\site-packages

Depending on your python interpreter environment variable path, you need to either py -m pip install win32api

Use python -m pip install win32api

In my case, py -m pip install win32api worked but python -m pip install win32api didn't

I had the same error message while trying to lunch the command "manage.py". I solved the problem by writing the command in python shell after entering the folder where the files django-admin.exe and django-admin.py are. Please see screen-shot attached.

python -m pip install pypiwin32

This should solve the issue. Note that the package name you used is not the canonical name.
