Pipe is Python's package manager. Simply put, it basically lets you install and manage millions of Python packages and libraries from the command line. It connects to the Python Package Index repository where you can find thousands of projects, apps, software development kits, clients, and more.

If you get errors like "Pip is not recognized as an internal or external command" or "Python is not recognized as an internal or external command" or "Python was not found" after installing and running Python or pip commands on Windows, don't worry. This does not mean that you may have Python or Pip installed on your Windows PC, but their paths are not configured correctly. We need to add their directory as a global Windows environment variable. Here's how.

1. First, press "Windows + R" to open run prompt and paste below path and press enter.

2. Next, open another "Python3XX" folder. Now, copy the entire path from the address bar. This is the path to Python that you need to add as an environment variable.

3. Next, go to "Scripts" folder and click on "Address Bar". Now, copy the entire path again. This is the path to Pip that you need to add as an environment variable.

4. After you have the path for both Python and Pip, open the Run prompt again by pressing "Windows + R". Here, type sysdm.cpl and press Enter. This will directly open Advanced System Settings.

5. Go to the "Advanced" tab, and click on "Environment Variables" at the bottom.

6. Next, under the "User variables for ..." section, select "Path" and click the "Edit..." button.

7. Here, click on "New" and add both the paths you copied above on the left side. Now, click on "OK". Remember, the path will be different for each PC. This will add Python and pip to your PC as global environment variables. Finally, open a command prompt or Windows Terminal and run a python/pip command. For example - you can use pip command to install Open-air on your Windows PC and it won't show any error.
