Why is `pip` not found even though it is installed?

Why is pip not found even though it is installed?

According to the documentation:

Use the following command to check whether pip is installed:

C:\> py -m pip --version

So, I checked that I have the pip installed.

Now I am trying to install the matplotlib and getting an error. Why? What am I missing?

C:\Users\thatisusername>py -m pip --version
pip 20.2.3 from C:\Users\thatisusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

C:\Users\thatisusername>cd C:\Users\thatisusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pip

C:\Users\thatisusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\pip>pip install matplotlib
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

You have to call pip as a module from the Python binary as well when installing a module.

py -m pip install matplotlib
