🔒 Installing NLTK

[near current]

Hello, I'm currently trying to install nltk to import it in a project in visual code, I have already tried downloading it, but right after that happened my computer detected a rootkit and it refused to complete the download. I have also tried using pip install nltk in the command prompt but it just gives me the same error: "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
any ideas on what to do now?

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.
