If you are using latest version of Python.
In computer properties, Go to Advanced System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Environmental Variables
In System variables section, there is variable called PATH. Append c:\Python27\Scripts (Note append, not replace)
Then open a new command prompt, try "pip"

@AsutoSeven Double click on the PATH variable,go to the end of the Variable Value, then add ";C:\Python27\Scripts"(without double quotes) to it. click OK. – be_good_do_good Jul 28 '16 at 13:14

Try navigating to ~/Python[version]/Scripts in cmd, then use pip[version] [command] [module] (ie. pip3 install themodulename or pip2 install themodulename)
