title: Trouble install PIP Windows
body: <p>I have read posts on here but something doesn't seem to work. I am new to <code>Python dev</code>. I am running <code>windows 7 64bit</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install <code>pip</code> which I have downloaded and have <code>easy_install</code> in my <code>c:\python27\scripts</code> directory. When I use <code>powershell</code> and type </p>
  
  <pre><code>"python easy_install pip"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"can't open file easy_install": [Errno 2] No such file or directory.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This seems odd as I can see the <code>easy_install.exe</code> is in that directory. </p>
  
  <p>I have added <code>c:\python27\scripts</code> to my <code>system PATH</code> but, to be honest, I am not sure if this is right.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please help?
  Thank you.</p>
