Pip installed (and updated), but can't be found-CodePudding

I've installed Python (3.9.5) and pip (22.0.3), but pip can't be found with the cmd prompt:

C:\> py --version
Python 3.9.5
C:\> pip --version
Der Befehl "pip" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

This is the path to the pip files: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts. And this is the path to Python 3.9: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39

Also, I tried adding the directory to Python39\Scripts to PATH:

C:\>setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts"
ERFOLGREICH: Angegebener Wert wurde gespeichert.
C:\>

However, pip still can't be found.

I also tried this (https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-windows), but it didn't work:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

I'm completely lost here, could it be that my directories are messed up and that's why I can't find pip?

I'd be grateful for any help I can get!

CodePudding user response：

You can always try calling pip through python instead:

py -m pip --version

python3 -m pip --version

python -m pip --version

CodePudding user response：

you have installed python3 so the command pip3 must work
