I was going through https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/windows/#how-to-install-django-on-windows
I could follow until "In the command prompt, execute the following command: pip install django. This will download and install Django."
I'm not sure which command prompt and "pip install django" doesn't work on either powershell or python shell.
"pip" is not a proper comlet and "install" is not a proper syntax in python shell.
I'm not sure what I'm missing. Is there any other way to install django?

You can get and install python from activestate.com where pip is included. So you can run pip from command prompt.

You can't have been following that documentation very closely, as there is a whole section on how to install pip before the bit that you quote.
