It also helps us to know:
operating system (e.g., windows 10)
what does "when I try" mean? (e.g. at a windows command prompt I entered 
...)
What the *'s are for
best is to copy the entire session and paste it into your email. Example

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]

C:\Users\bgailer>pip install foo
Collecting foo
   Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement foo (from 
versions: )
No matching distribution found for foo

We could presume in your case that you tried to enter your pip command 
in a python interactive session. For example:

C:\Users\bgailer>python
Python 3.3.5 (v3.3.5:62cf4e77f785, Mar  9 2014, 10:35:05) [MSC v.1600 64 
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> pip install foo
   File "<stdin>", line 1
     pip install foo
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 >>>

Why did you get that response? Because pip is not a python statement 
(python does not have commands); it is an executable program. So you 
need to use a command prompt or terminal.
