Did you try pip install?

Open a command prompt window and navigate to the folder containing get-pip.py . Then run python get-pip.py . This will install pip . Verify a successful installation by opening a command prompt window and navigating to your Python installation's script directory (default is C:\Python27\Scripts ).

That's straight from Google.

Pip however comes with python 3.4 and above.

I think you will find it is included with your Python installation. It
is certainly in Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 on my Windows 8 machine.

There is an underscore in the name "easy_install" which might be your
problem. Try opening a command prompt and type >easy_install --help

It is probably best to avoid using Powershell unless you have a strong
preference. It gives you permissions which might lead you to developing
software which assumes it has those permissions. I might be wrong there
but I haven't had any difficulties using the ordinary shell.

Welcome Henry

This is the second time I’ve seen this and need to let you know it’s not true.  PowerShell doesn’t have elevated permissions, it’s just bash for .NET.  While there are a bunch of new scripting features built into it, it has no effect on Python* or any other commands you might run.

*  This might not be true if you are running IronPython, but it was never updated to 3, so it doesn’t matter.
