Problems with pipenv

I'm trying to create a virtual environment. For this, I install pipenv from the terminal:

>pip install pipenv

No problem.

And then, when trying to install a package, or do about anything from pipenv, I can't do it.

>pipenv install requests

Error:

pipenv : The term 'pipenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the 
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ pipenv install requests
+ ~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pipenv:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Please, help me! I've tried with older versions of the pipenv package and I can't figure out what's going on.

Use python -m pip install requests

This is happening because of the different version of python stored in your system, and pip associated with that version is different.

for example: in your system default python can be 2.7 and the python 3 versions can be 3.6. which invoke by running python and python3 respectively in terminal.

Now if you use pip (pip install requests) then it will install the requests in python2.7 ie the default one with which pip is associated.

not to install with python3.6 you need to call pip associated with it by pip3 install requests.

so this will create confusion. So it is good practice if you call the pip by using python invoke-command ie python -m pip install <package name>

so this will install the package in the python environment where you are working or want to work.
