How do I use pytube in windows terminal?

See original GitHub issue

Hey, I’m trying to use pytube with terminal but it says the term pytube is not recog. Tried to cd python38\lib\site-packages\pytube, and still cant use the command in CLI. I’m very newbie to anything in terminal, tried to install pytube using ‘python -m pip install pytube’, also my python is version 3.8.5 and pip 21.0.1

pip show pytube ... Location: c:\python38\lib\site-packages Requires: typing-extensions Required-by: python pytube C:\Python38\python.exe: can't open file 'pytube': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Thank you for helping ;=; ,I just gave up for now and will use python. Using pytube command at linux VM, hope to switch main OS soon.

Oh, that’s odd, pytube.exe should be in Python38\Scripts. How did you install python? Did you get an official installation from python.org? Also, are you using cmd to run it, or Powershell? Powershell generally works a lot better than cmd for most purposes
