Hi,
I want to install Kikit, but Kicad 6.0 command prompt couldn’t find pip.exe
(current directory being Kicad\6.0)
I can see python.exe (3.9.10), but not pip.exe.
As a result, I can’t install kikit. What could be wrong ? What am I missing ?
It’s in bin\Scripts, as is common for python module binaries on windows.
I have no bin\Scripts directory !
There’s bin\scripting, but no pip inside 
What’s your full kicad version? I think there were issues in 6.0.0-1 with pip install which were fixed later.
It is 6.0.4
(in order to write 20+ characters ; “Post must be at least 20 characters” 
)
Did you have internet when kicad was installed? You can retry the pip installation by running this in kicad command prompt
python -m ensurepip --upgrade
Same result
Will be back later, it’s 3:50 AM ! 
Check also <user dir>\Documents\KiCad\6.0\3rdparty\Python39\Scripts
What about pip3, is there one?
It wasn’t installed by default.
And Python wasn’t whitelisted in my firewall…
python -m pip install --upgrade pip and allowing Python to access the LAN and WAN solved the problem !
Kikit is now showing in pcbnew !
[firewall always set to paranoid mode : programs are not allowed to access network untill I whitelist them)
