I'm currently trying to download pip onto my python 3.9.6 I had downloaded off the official website, but my Macbook (version 10.15.6 Catalina) returns the line:
$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
$ python get-pip.py
ERROR: This script does not work on Python 2.7 The minimum supported Python version is 3.6. Please use https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py instead.
So I then tried installing python3 using the post Getting an error installing pip in my Mac which said to run the line:
$ python3 --version
Python 3.7.0
which installed python3 for me, and running $ python3 --version afterwards shows that I have Python 3.8.2 installed now. Yet then running the line returns that I can't install the packages due to:
$ pip3 install --upgrade pip Collecting pip
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/47/ca/f0d790b6e18b3a6f3bd5e80c2ee4edbb5807286c21cdd0862ca933f751dd/pip-21.1.3-py3-none-any.whl

WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 21.1.3 is available.

Can anyone help me with this error? My account is an admin account already so I'm confused by what it means by check the permissions.
You don't have permission to install packages globally. Either use Sudo, or install for the current user only, as suggested in the command output you posted.
sudo pip3 install <package>
or
pip3 install --user <package>
I get -bash: pip: command not found when I try to use pip -V or any other command with pip / pip3, I used to easily install something using pip3 install .., now pip doesn't work for some reason, BUT if I will write python3 -m pip --version I will get pip 21.1.3 from /Users/work/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pip (python 3.9) , this seems to be the latest version at the moment and I can no longer install using the pip3 install .. command, using python3 -m pip, what could be the problem? I want to use pip3 like before
Thanks to all!
It seems to me that you need update Path in system variables.
Just add "Python_location"\Scripts\ (for example: c:\Python3\Scripts) to Path
I'm trying to update PIP (the Python package installer) so I can install a package in Python, but in order to do so, I need to use a PIP command. Essentially, I can't update PIP without having PIP been updated (i.e the command is python -m pip install --upgrade pip).
The error message is get is:
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
In addition, the packages that I am attempting to install do not install.
I'm unsure how to get around this problem, and would greatly appreciate some help.
Just try it with administration privileges.
sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip
*** If you are using windows run the command prompt as the administration
I am new in working with a kinect. I am using a Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6.
Wheneve I try to update python with :
sudo -H python2 -m pip install -U pip # Update pip
I got this error:
File "<stdin>", line 1
sudo -H python2 -m pip install -U pip # Update pip
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
How do we fix it?
What you are doing is running a console command inside python shell,
press ctrl+D to exit out of python shell and then try executing the pip upgrade command
to upgrade pip using pip itself
pip install --upgrade pip # run in console/terminal
to upgrade pip using python
python -m pip install --upgrade pip # run in console/terminal
You can avoid the need for sudo if you're just a single user on your machine. This also avoids potentially messing around with the system-wide installation.
Use
python2.7 -m pip install pip --upgrade --user
The --user option will install the updated pip package just for your user account. Everytime you use python2.7, it will use the newer pip package.
System routines will not see the newer pip package, nor be bothered by it.
python2.7 is needed, because python2 doesn't really exist: it's either python or python2.7 for version 2. Python version 3 doesn't (apparently) exist by default on macOS.
I'm able to update pip-managed packages, but how do I update pip itself? According to pip --version, I currently have pip 1.1 installed in my virtualenv and I want to update to the latest version.
What's the command for that? Do I need to use distribute or is there a native pip or virtualenv command? I've already tried pip update and pip update pip with no success.
pip is just a PyPI package like any other; you could use it to upgrade itself the same way you would upgrade any package:
pip install --upgrade pip
On Windows the recommended command is:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
The more safe method is to run pip though a python module:
python -m pip install -U pip
On windows there seem to be a problem with binaries that try to replace themselves, this method works around that limitation.
In my case my pip version was broken so the update by itself would not work.
Fix:
(inside virtualenv):easy_install -U pip
I tried all of these solutions mentioned above under Debian Jessie. They don't work, because it just takes the latest version compile by the debian package manager which is 1.5.6 which equates to version 6.0.x. Some packages that use pip as prerequisites will not work as a results, such as spaCy (which needs the option --no-cache-dir to function correctly).
So the actual best way to solve these problems is to run get-pip.py downloaded using wget, from the website or using curl as follows:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O ./get-pip.py
python ./get-pip.py
python3 ./get-pip.py
This will install the current version which at the time of writing this solution is 9.0.1 which is way beyond what Debian provides.
$ pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /home/myhomedir/myvirtualenvdir/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /home/myhomedir/myvirtualenvdir/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)
In case you are using venv any update to pip install will result in upgrading the system pip instead of the venv pip. You need to upgrade the pip bootstrapping packages as well.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
for windows,
go to command prompt
and use this command
python -m pip install -–upgrade pip
Dont forget to restart the editor,to avoid any error
you can check the version of the pip by
pip --version
if you want to install any particular version of pip , for example version 18.1 then use this command,
python -m pip install pip==18.1
pip install --upgrade pip
In UBUNTU 18.04 I got the following error when I execute the above command:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/bin/pip'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
The below command solves my problem:
pip install --upgrade pip --user
Upgrading pip using 'pip install --upgrade pip' does not always work because of the dreaded cert issue: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version
I like to use the one line command for virtual envs:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python -
Or if you want to install it box wide you will need
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python -
you can give curl a -s flag if you want to silence the output when running in an automation script.
To get this to work for me I had to drill down in the Python directory using the Python command prompt (on WIN10 from VS CODE). In my case it was in my AppData\Local\Programs\Python\python35-32 directory. From there now I ran the command...
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
This worked and I'm good to go.
For linux
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
For windows:
Type Command Prompt in the Windows search box
In the Command Prompt, type cd\
Press Enter, and you’ll see the drive name C:\>
Locate your Python application path, which is the folder where you originally installed Python
Here is an example of a Python application path:
C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
Once you retrieved the Python application path, type the following command in the Command Prompt:
cd followed by your Python application path
For our example:
C:\>cd C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
Press Enter
Type python -m pip install --upgrade pip and press Enter
In my case this worked from the terminal command line in Debian Stable
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Open Command Prompt with Administrator Permissions, and repeat the command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip version 10 has an issue. It will manifest as the error:
ubuntu#mymachine-:~/mydir$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main
The solution is to be in the venv you want to upgrade and then run:
sudo myvenv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
rather than just
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
I was in a similar situation and wanted to update urllib3 package.
What worked for me was:
pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall --ignore-installed urllib3==1.25.3
On my lap-top with Windows 7 the right way to install latest version of pip is:
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
First, do this:
sudo apt install python3-pip python-setuptools-doc
Then, as a non-root user (NEVER, never run pip* as root!):
# N.B. bash shell works for this, I have never tested with other shells!
. ....your_virtualenv_folder/bin/activate
pip3 install -U pip
Note: -U is a synonym for --upgrade, as far as I know.
I had installed Python in C:\Python\Python36 so I went to the Windows command prompt and typed cd C:\Python\Python36 to get to the right directory. Then entered the python -m install --upgrade pip all good!
Single Line Python Program
The best way I have found is to write a single line program that downloads and runs the official get-pip script. See below for the code.
The official docs recommend using curl to download the get-pip script, but since I work on windows and don't have curl installed I prefer using python itself to download and run the script.
Here is the single line program that can be run via the command line using Python 3:
python -c "import urllib.request; exec(urllib.request.urlopen('https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py').read())"
This line gets the official "get-pip.py" script as per the installation notes and executes the script with the "exec" command.
For Python2 you would replace "urllib.request" with "urllib2":
python -c "import urllib2; exec(urllib2.urlopen('https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py').read())"
Precautions
It's worth noting that running any python script blindly is inherently dangerous. For this reason, the official instructions recommend downloading the script and inspecting it before running.
That said, many people don't actually inspect the code and just run it. This one-line program makes that easier.
I had a similar problem on a raspberry pi.
The problem was that http requires SSL and so I needed to force it to use https to get around this requirement.
sudo pip install --upgrade pip --index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple
or
sudo pip-3.2 --upgrade pip --index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Head to your command prompt and type the following:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
While updating pip in virtual env use full path in python command
Envirnments folder struture
myenv\scripts\python
h:\folderName\myenv\scripts\python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Very Simple. Just download pip from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py . Save the file in some forlder or dekstop. I saved the file in my D drive.Then from your command prompt navigate to the folder where you have downloaded pip. Then type there
python -get-pip.py
In linux
I will update with this code
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip
