Forgot where I installed pip. Need directory

Question

I installed pip for python 3 on my laptop a year ago and now I forgot where I installed it . But I need to know the location now normal searching for pip folder is not working can somebody help!

I already tried to install pycharm so that I could find where it is, but it was not very much helpful.

Are you on Windows, Mac OS, linux? following this post suggestion [Retrieving python module path](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/247770/retrieving-python-module-path) you could inspect the output of `import pip; print pip.__file__` — chickity china chinese chicken, Jan 30 '18 at 23:11
that's fine. if you run those two lines into a python interpreter, it should work in Windows, too. open the Command Prompt, type python, enter those two lines and see what it returns. — chickity china chinese chicken, Jan 30 '18 at 23:19
@davedwards found pip init file and pip folder but pip install command is not working yet — Deepankur Singh, Jan 30 '18 at 23:22
what do you mean it is not working? in Windows command prompt, does just `pip` do anything? or do you get `'pip' is not recognized as an internal command`, etc..? — chickity china chinese chicken, Jan 30 '18 at 23:25

If you're using bash, the default shell on OS X and some linux distros, use this:

type -a pip
