Trouble with installing pip

I am new to python and I read online that pip is a good tool to install. I searched online on how to install pip and the first step listed was to check if python was installed properly by opening cmd in admin mode and typing python and it took me to the Microsoft store. I searched online about this and I followed some guide to editing PATH but it did not work. Some other posts said to try typing py and it worked. Then I followed the guide to install a file called get-pip.py. I downloaded it, went into cmd and into the directory where it was downloaded, and typed python get-pip.py and the command prompt just skipped one line. Now I tried pip -V and cmd did not recognize it. So I tried moved the get-pip.py file into where my python.exe file existed and tried py get-pip.exe and got the error C:\Users\[*myname*]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe: can't open file 'get-pip.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. Any help would be appreciated and sorry if this has already been asked I couldn't find good solutions.

Thanks in advance

The easiest way to install pip is with modifying the python installation.

Step 1 - Open Apps & Features

Step 2 - Find Python and click on it

Step 3 - Press Modify

Step 4 - Select pip

Step 5 - Select Add Python to environment variables and install everything

That will install pip and add it to your environment variables so you can run pip task in command prompt or powershell from anywhere.

you may either:

  1. include your pip location (\Python37\Scripts) into PATH; or
  2. call pip by typing whole path, like \Python37\Scripts\pip -v

You could use the python installer fitting your system (download page) and click change installation.

if you are new start using Google Colab first to learn how to code in python most of the packages are already installed and no need to install the basic packages
