I tried to download colorama, but when I write pip install colorama, there is an error:

The system cannot execute the specified program.

Here is the command input and the output:

C:\Users\ADMIN>pip install colorama
The system cannot execute the specified program.

  1. Verify that python is installed and working: python -V (prints current python version to console)
  2. Ensure that latest pip version is installed: python -m ensurepip --upgrade
  3. Verify pip is working: pip -V (prints current pip version to console)
  4. Install package: pip install colorama

your statement on the -m flag is incorrect. It has nothing to do with python versions, rather it tells python to execute a module as a script by running it's __main__.py file. (or if it is a single file module, by running that single file as "__main__"). What is typically unnecessary is to call python itself, because pip often includes a script which is directly executable in the shell as long as it's on the search path (and is installed)

You probably installed pip very recently (first usage ?)

Windows detected it as suspicious and ask you to "unblock" it first.
