title: Learn Python the Hard Way Exercise 46: Installing Python packages (pip, nose etc.) on Windows
body: <p>I am learning Python using Zed Shaw's "Learn Python the Hard Way" on Windows using PowerShell. I am in <a href="http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex46.html" rel="nofollow">Exercise 46</a> where you set up a skelton project. I downloaded <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip" rel="nofollow">pip</a>, <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute" rel="nofollow">distribute</a>, <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose/" rel="nofollow">nose</a>, and <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv" rel="nofollow">virtualenv</a> and I installed them by typing:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>python &lt;filename&gt;.py install</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, probably because they were not installed where they were supposed to, when I try</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>nosetests</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get errors saying "The term 'nosetests' is not recognized as the name of a cmdelt, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the mae, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.... CommandNotFoundException".</p>
  
  <p>I have been going through the exercises fine, so I thought that the path was correct but do you have to change it now? Right now, I have the packages under the directory where I have my skelton (..project/skelton). I am sorry for a real-beginner question but if anybody could help me with this, I highly appreciate it!!</p>
