You need to be in the specific folder where pip.exe exists, then do the following steps:

open cmd.exe
write the following command:

    cd "The path to the python folder"

or in my case, i wrote

    cd C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts

then write the following command

    pip install *anypackage*
