Hello,

I'm a new programmer who initially began learning python for bioinformatics
and data analysis applications, but have recently become interested by web
development so I've set out to learn django.

 I used to use an ubuntu operating system when I was previously learning
some aspects of bioinformatics but recently switched to a new computer with
windows 10. I've been trying to use pip but continue getting an error
message on the command line when I try to use pip (basically saying pip
isn't a recognized command).

I have been checking that pip installed though and up to date with the
version of the python download I'm using ( was trying 3.6 and then switched
to 2.7) so I feel it has something to do with how I have the setup that pip
isn't being recognized, but I haven't been able to find any solutions with
google searches.

Is there any info out there that'd be good for a novice to check out to
solve this?

If so would greatly appreciate it!

All the best,

Joey Steward
