If the command fails, then download the pip script manually with get-pip.py. Run python get-pip.py
Once both Python and its package manager pip have been installed, run the following commands to install virtualenv for Powershell:
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper-powershell
If you have git, run git clone https://github.com/BNIA/Close-Crawl.git. If not, just download and extract the repository.
Navigate to the project on your terminal, then initialize a virtual environment: virtualenv <ENV_NAME>. Once the virtual environment is initialized, activate it by running: .\<ENV_NAME>\Scripts\activate. Lastly, download all the required packages through pip: pip install -r requirements.txt
