[Bf-docboard] 'pip' command not recognised

[Tibor Futo]

Your PATH environment variable is not set correctly. You will have to add
the folders containing python and pip. Usually the Python installer
automatically makes this modification.

Hi,



I’m Ray. I did once introduce myself to the mailing list, but that
unfortunately didn’t result in any actual contributions to the manual, but
I’m hoping to contribute at some point this time.



I’ve been following the Blender Manual installation instructions for
Windows (I’m on Windows 10 64-bit), but I think either the instructions are
missing a few steps or something must have changed with the installation
process.



On attempting the ‘pip install -r requirements.txt’ command, after
navigating to my Blender Manual folder, I just get the standard Windows
error for an unrecognised command:



'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.



To actually get the command to work I had to find and navigate to the
Python installation and the ‘pip.exe’:



*C:\Users\Ray\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts*



And then run this command in that folder:



*pip install -r "C:\Users\Ray\Documents\Blender Manual\requirements.txt"*



That worked, or at least, there were no errors among the installation
messages, but I was no longer in my ‘Blender Manual’ folder, as the
instructions suggested I should be, so I don’t know if it worked properly.



I then tried the ‘make’ command listed in the ‘Build’ section of the guide
which resulted in another error:



*No command given, defaulting to html.*



*'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,*

*operable program or batch file.*



I presume this is related to the first issue of ‘pip’ not being recognised.



This isn’t exactly a positive start and only gives fuel to my thoughts that
a less technical, online method of editing is favourable to the current
method, but I nevertheless hope, with your help, I can resolve these issues.



Thanks,



Ray Mairlot.
