Selenium Python installation issue

Question

I have followed the instruction from the site: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

I followed the section : Detailed instructions for Windows users:

completed step-1- by downloading and installing it (python-2.7.3.msi) to my windows . Now i got confuesd about the 2nd step. What i need to i can't understand ,i just downloaded the "pypa-virtualenv-1.8.1-74-g2adac08.tar.gz" and unzipped it to the folder "D:\Python and Selenium". Both the step-1 mentioned MSI .exe file and this .zip file present in the same directory as I just mentioned.

I also tried the below ,but got errors:

    D:\Python and Selenium\pypa-virtualenv-2adac08>pip install https://github.com/py
   pa/virtualenv/tarball/develop
   'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    D:\Python and Selenium\pypa-virtualenv-2adac08>

Can you now guide me to install it on my PC succesfully?

Seems you didn't install pip or it is not in your PATH. stackoverflow.com/questions/4750806/… — philippe lhardy

You need to have this file in your folder:

virtualenv.py

And then with the command line run:

C:\Python27\python.exe virtualenv.py selenv

After that you will have a subfolder named "selenv". With the command line run :

selenv\Scripts\pip.exe install selenium

And check if you can run your python-selenium scripts with selenv\Scripts\python.exe my_selenium_script.py

Note that you need to use the full path to pip , since you do not have it in the windows PATH
