pip is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Question

I'm facing a weird error when trying to install Django on my computer.

This is the sequence of code which I used in my command line:
 

C:\Python34> python get-pip.py Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python34\lib\site-packages Cleaning up... 
C:\Python34> pip install Django 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 
C:\Python34> lib\site-packages\pip install Django 'lib\site-packages\pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What is the reason that is causing this?

This is what I got when I typed in echo %PATH%:

C:\Python34>echo %PATH% C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\ ;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\S ystem32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Progr am Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Mana gement Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine C omponents\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components \DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\P rogram Files (x86)\nodejs\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\bin;C:\Program Files (x 86)\git\cmd;C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.0.0\bin;C:\RailsInstaller\Git\cmd;C:\RailsIn staller\Ruby1.9.3\bin;C:\Users\Javi\AppData\Roaming\npm

You will have to add the path of your pip installation to your PATH system variable. However, by default, the pip is installed to C:\Python34\Scripts\pip and hence the path "C:\Python34\Scripts" will have to be added to your given PATH variable.

In order to verify if this is already in your PATH variable, type echo %PATH% at the CMD prompt and to confirm that the path of your pip installation has been added to your PATH variable, you can use the Control Panel or the setx command.

For example:

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts"
