How to run pip on windows?

Question

How to run pip in windows?

I understand that this can be a very stupid question, but all the manuals, the whole network have the same:

$ pip install <package>

But where should I find this "$"? This is not a Windows console. This is not a Python console. These are not different combinations. Where should I find this magic "$" on Windows?

When you install pip (via get-pip.pyor etc.), it installs into your python directory in a subfolder \Lib\site-packages. It also puts pip.exein your folder %python%\scripts. If you add C:\python-install-directory\scriptsto your PATH, you can run it from the command line:

$ pip install <package>
