# Installing PIP

## Step 1: Check if PIP is Already Installed

Before you **install PIP on Windows**, check if PIP is already installed.

Type in the following command at the command prompt:

```
$ pip help
```

If PIP responds, then PIP is installed. Otherwise, there will be an error saying the program could not be found.

## Installing PIP On Windows

#### Step 1: Download PIP get-pip.py

Before installing PIP, download the get-pip.py file: [get-pip.py on pypa.io](https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py).

Download the file to the desired folder in Windows. You can save the file to any location, but remember the path so you can use it later.

### Step 2: Installing PIP on Windows

Open the Command Prompt if it isn’t already open. Use the **`cd`** command followed by a folder name to navigate to the location of the *get-pip.py* file. This is the folder you previously used as the download location.

To install PIP type in the following:

```
$ python get-pip.py
```

### Step 3: Verify Installation

Once you’ve installed PIP, you can test whether the installation has been successful by typing the following:

```
pip help
```
