I don't know what to tell you, other than you're doing it wrong. :P

The likely issue I'm guessing is that you don't have the Scripts folder where these get installed by pip in your PATH . For example, here is where it lives on my Windows 10 machine with the Anaconda distribution of Python 3:

As for this, I have no idea what your environment is like, so I can't offer any help here unless you provide more details.
I'm going to close this issue, but feel free to follow up with more questions if you have them.
