PIP command not found

In a lot of cases, there comes an error PIP command not found. As we have discussed above, this issue can be resolved by setting the path right. The pip should always exist in the binary folder which has to be the default path for downloading the application. In other cases, the user needs to set the correct path or create a symlink in the default folder which will make the PIP command work easily.
