title: How to use -pip- to install packages that can work with Anaconda?
body: <p>I am trying to install some additional packages that do not come with Anaconda. All of these packages can be installed using <code>pip install PackageName</code>. However, when I type this command at the Anaconda Command Prompt, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python27\python.exe
  " "C:\python27\scripts\pip.exe" install MechanicalSoup'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried to run the command from the python interpreter after <code>import pip</code> but that also did not work (I got a <code>SyntaxError: invalid syntax</code>).</p>
  
  <p>I am a noob and understand that this might be a very basic question so thanks for your help in advance!</p>
  
  <p>PS: I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, conda version: 3.7.1 and python version: 2.7.6. </p>
