My guess is you are using windows?

Unix systems require it to be specified as pip3, as their default installer, pip, corresponds to python 2.

On windows your default is likely python 3, and so your system variable will be just pip.

re-enter the command using pip instead of pip3 and it should work.

If you are on windows you likely need to add the python and python/scripts path to you windows env settings. The python/scripts dir is the important one for pip or other packages (pip3 may also be there)
