"easy_install" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operating program or batch file

Question

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Python on my computer running Windows 7.

Python 2.7.3 

Now I want to install the Twitter library I found online:

However, when I try to run easy_install tweepy , I get this error message:

Answer 1

You need:

• Install easy_install: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

• Add C:\Python27\Scripts to your PATH

I had the same issue with Python 3.4. The following steps are fixed:

cd C: \ Python34 \ Scripts. \ easy_install pip

(or what you need to install) c. \ you select the administrator permissions to access the command

Answer 3

I think you should set the "PATH" variable to execute it

Answer 4

It seems that a simple installation itself is not installed on your system.

See this previous question for installation instructions.

Answer 5

Major official Python packages must be installed

You can install packages through the command line by entering:

 python -m pip install --user numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose
