On windows sometimes pip is screwed, we maybe should document the usage of python -m pip then.

Though I'm not sure, it's in fact a platform problem^^

On a Windows 8 a machine, trying to get coala up and running user found these instructions: http://coala-analyzer.org/#details

sudo pip3 install coala-bears does not work, pip3 install coala-bears does not work, pip install coala-bears does not work.

We tried to add C:\Python34\Scripts to the path, and reinstalling Python 3.5 and continued to get the error message

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python34\python.exe" "C:\Python34\Scripts\pip3.exe" -V' when we tried to run pip3 -V I got the message pip 8.1.2 from c:\python27\lib\site-packages (python 2.7) another solution we tried was to delete pip3.exe from the C:\Python27 folder

Could you provide more details about how python was installed? It seems to me as though python2, python3, pip2 and pip3 are getting confused by the system.

So: Which versions of python are installed? Are these installed from the python exe at python.org ? What's in the path (related to python) ?

I think: "C:\Python34\python.exe" -m pip install coala-bears Should work for you

I have Python27 and Python34 installed on my computer I had someone who did this for me on Monday using this tutorial from DjangoGirls It is possible they downloaded from an alternative source

I had to add those folders to my path Before today I only have Python27/Scripts in my path

As part of my troubleshooting I tried to add Python34/Scripts to my path and even removed Python27/Scripts from my path each time I was getting the same error that Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python34\python.exe"

I downloaded Python 3.5.1 and reinstalled it from https://www.python.org/downloads/ to try and solve the problem but continued to get the issue.

We were able to use python3 -m pip install coala-bears and found success
