pip install or any other directory doesn't work, no matter what I try

I ve tried ever IDE so far. Downloaded Python and now trying to download some modules and libraries. Trying to download Pillow with PIP. Whatever I try, seems that i am totally dumb. I type: "python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip" its "invalid syntax". Same whatever I type. Can someone help me out?

The command you are trying to use to upgrade pip doesn't work for me either. I would recommend trying this one: pip install --upgrade pip

After doing that you may freely use commands like pip install library_name on whatever you want.

The other possible problem may be that you have to specify the version of pip you are trying to use. This is done by typing pip3 or pip3.7 (depending on the version of python) instead of just pip.

You may use python --version to check which version are you on.

If none of the commands involving pip work for you, you should reinstall/update python without removing a tick from "install pip" or make sure that it is installed in the proper place, because I sometimes had a problem, when pip worked in PowerShell, but did not in CMD.
