I downloaded the get-pip.py file. I installed it to the same folder on my C drive as the Beautiful Soup one in which the Beautiful Soup 4 downloads was unzipped to. I changed directory to the folder on the Command Prompt, as you instructed in step 2. I input the code to the console you gave on step 3), that returned some code, as quoted below.
