Pip Not Working From Powershell

If you have strawberry perl installed, you may get one of these errors when you try to use pip from powershell:

  • Did not provide a command
  • Unknown or unsupported command 'install'
This is the result of a conflict between strawberry perl's pip and python's pip. You need to remove anything related to strawberry perl from your path environmental variable and ensure you have C:\Python27\Scripts and C:\Python27\Scripts in your environmental variables.
