I can't install a package with the pip or pip3 command and I can't install it from the Python Interpreter in PyCharm too. I can't tap on the '+' at the Python Interpreter in PyCharm.
I get this error:
pip command not found
Here is what you can try.
Lets check python installation.
C:\Users\User>python --version
Python 3.10.5
C:\Users\User>
If you get the version as 3.x, then we are good, else goto your python installation directory and copy its path and then add it to your environment variable PATH.
Check PIP available or not.
C:\Users\User>pip --version
pip 22.3 from C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.10)
C:\Users\User>
if above didn't work then add pip path to PATH environment variable which would be something similar to above output.
Now we are ready to install any package
Just do pip install package-name
for testing, you can try:
pip install numpy
If it still throws error, try below one
python -m pip install numpy
if it still throws error, then you might need to clean your python installation.
3 commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install <package_name>
or maybe
sudo apt install <package_name> -y
It looks like you don't have pip installed on $PATH. The following command will run pip without any adjustments to $PATH:
python3 -m pip install <some_module>
Pay attention to the -m, this stands for modules and runs the pip program inside the python3 interpreter (I don't know exact definition here, if anyone wishes to correct me I will update the answer)
However, if this doesn't work then you may not have pip installed, and can be installed by running:
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
Then, reload your shell via the following (replace bash with your shell):
exec bash
Running pip --version should now work
I installed Python 3.10 today but when I try to run pip or pip3, the command prompt gives me an error. I tried following the instructions that the top answer in this question said. My complete path to the python interpreter is this:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.exe
In the WindowsApps directory, I'm supposed to have a Scripts folder. Strangely enough, I don't. Can someone please help me?
Check if pip3 is already installed
pip3 -v
if it is installed the output should be like that
C:\Python38\python.exe -m pip <command> [options]
Commands:
install Install packages.
download Download packages.
uninstall Uninstall packages.
freeze Output installed packages in requirements format.
list List installed packages.
show Show information about installed packages.
...

Pip3 Upgrade
python -m pip3 install --upgrade pip
Pip3 Downgrade
python -m pip3 install pip==19.0
You can try python -m pip to use pip if it is installed.
If pip is not installed, you can always use python -m ensurepip --upgrade to install pip for your python installation.
Take a look at the following post
How can I install pip on Windows?
py -3 -m ensurepip
I recently downloaded Python 3.10 from python.org and built it from the source, on Ubuntu 18.04. I had previously been on Python 3.8.
According to https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/ "Usually, pip is automatically installed if you are using Python downloaded from python.org." But when I run pip --version or pip3 --version it shows as installed for Python 3.8, not 3.10.
I have these questions:
Is something wrong with my build that pip is not shown for Python 3.10? I've been using 3.10 for more than two weeks and haven't had any other problems.
According to the same page, I can upgrade pip with python -m pip install --upgrade pip. Does the upgrade change it to Python 3.10, or do I install it separately with either sudo apt-get install python-pip or sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev
I could just try these options, but I want to avoid problems.
Thanks.
I built Python 3.10 from source with ./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/usr/local --with-ensurepip=install, and pip was installed:
pip3 --version
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with -m pip instead of running pip directly.
pip 21.2.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

root#ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01-1566673626429-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01:/home/bin# pip --version
bash: pip: command not found
Here's the issue. Pip should be run as python -m pip. See Brett Cannon's blog entry at https://snarky.ca/why-you-should-use-python-m-pip.
Some may already know this but I didn't and I hope this helps others in the future.
I have a virtualenv (python2api) made in python2.7 on Ubuntu 16.04. In the virtualenv I installed python3.5:
$ virtualenv -p python3.5 python2api
Then I installed pip3:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
But when I run 'which pip' it shows that pip3 installed outside of the virtualenv and any pip3 packages I install go to '/usr/lib/python2.7' instead of '/var/env/python2api/lib/python3.5/site-packages/'.
(python2api) user#comp:/var/env/python2api/lib$ which pip
/var/env/python2api/bin/pip
(python2api) user#comp:/var/env/python2api/lib$ which pip3
/usr/bin/pip3
Is there a way to make pip3 install packages in the virtualenv? It seems like only python2 or only python3 packages can exist in the virtualenv.
A virtualenv encapsulates one version of Python.
You can't use it to manage more than one version, and Python 2.x and Python 3.x are separate versions here.
Use two separate virtualenvs, one for each Python version.
I have both python2.7 and python3.2 installed in Ubuntu 12.04.
The symbolic link python links to python2.7.
When I type:
sudo pip install package-name
It will default install python2 version of package-name.
Some package supports both python2 and python3.
How to install python3 version of package-name via pip?
Ubuntu 12.10+ and Fedora 13+ have a package called python3-pip which will install pip-3.2 (or pip-3.3, pip-3.4 or pip3 for newer versions) without needing this jumping through hoops.
I came across this and fixed this without needing the likes of wget or virtualenvs (assuming Ubuntu 12.04):
Install package python3-setuptools: run sudo aptitude install python3-setuptools, this will give you the command easy_install3.
Install pip using Python 3's setuptools: run sudo easy_install3 pip, this will give you the command pip-3.2 like kev's solution.
Install your PyPI packages: run sudo pip-3.2 install <package> (installing python packages into your base system requires root, of course).
…
Profit!
You may want to build a virtualenv of python3, then install packages of python3 after activating the virtualenv. So your system won't be messed up :)
This could be something like:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 py3env
source py3env/bin/activate
pip install package-name
Short Answer
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install MODULE_NAME
Source: Shashank Bharadwaj's comment
Long Answer
The short answer applies only on newer systems. On some versions of Ubuntu the command is pip-3.2:
sudo pip-3.2 install MODULE_NAME
If it doesn't work, this method should work for any Linux distro and supported version:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3
sudo pip3 install MODULE_NAME
If you don't have curl, use wget. If you don't have sudo, switch to root. If pip3 symlink does not exists, check for something like pip-3.X
Much python packages require also the dev package, so install it too:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
Sources:
python installing packages with pip
Pip latest install
Check also Tobu's answer if you want an even more upgraded version of Python.
I want to add that using a virtual environment is usually the preferred way to develop a python application, so #felixyan answer is probably the best in an ideal world. But if you really want to install that package globally, or if need to test / use it frequently without activating a virtual environment, I suppose installing it as a global package is the way to go.
Well, on ubuntu 13.10/14.04, things are a little different.
Install
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Install packages
$ sudo pip3 install packagename
NOT pip-3.3 install
The easiest way to install latest pip2/pip3 and corresponding packages:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python2
pip2 install package-name
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
pip3 install package-name
Note: please run these commands as root
I had the same problem while trying to install pylab, and I have found this link
So what I have done to install pylab within Python 3 is:
python3 -m pip install SomePackage
It has worked properly, and as you can see in the link you can do this for every Python version you have, so I guess this solves your problem.
Old question, but none of the answers satisfies me. One of my systems is running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and for some reason there's no package python3-pip or python-pip for Python 3. So here is what I've done (all commands were executed as root):
Install setuptools for Python3 in case you haven't.
apt-get install python3-setuptools
or
aptitude install python3-setuptools
With Python 2.4+ you can invoke easy_install with specific Python version by using python -m easy_install. So pip for Python 3 could be installed by:
python3 -m easy_install pip
That's it, you got pip for Python 3. Now just invoke pip with the specific version of Python to install package for Python 3. For example, with Python 3.2 installed on my system, I used:
pip-3.2 install [package]
If you have pip installed in both pythons, and both are in your path, just use:
$ pip-2.7 install PACKAGENAME
$ pip-3.2 install PACKAGENAME

This is a duplicate of question #2812520
If your system has python2 as default, use below command to install packages to python3
$ python3 -m pip install <package-name>
Easy enough:
sudo aptitude install python3-pip
pip-3.2 install --user pkg
If you want Python 3.3, which isn't the default as of Ubuntu 12.10:
sudo aptitude install python3-pip python3.3
python3.3 -m pip.runner install --user pkg
You can alternatively just run pip3 install packagename instead of pip,
Firstly, you need to install pip for the Python 3 installation that you want. Then you run that pip to install packages for that Python version.
Since you have both pip and python 3 in /usr/bin, I assume they are both installed with a package manager of some sort. That package manager should also have a Python 3 pip. That's the one you should install.
Felix' recommendation of virtualenv is a good one. If you are only testing, or you are doing development, then you shouldn't install the package in the system python. Using virtualenv, or even building your own Pythons for development, is better in those cases.
But if you actually do want to install this package in the system python, installing pip for Python 3 is the way to go.
Although the question relates to Ubuntu, let me contribute by saying that I'm on Mac and my python command defaults to Python 2.7.5. I have Python 3 as well, accessible via python3, so knowing the pip package origin, I just downloaded it and issued sudo python3 setup.py install against it and, surely enough, only Python 3 has now this module inside its site packages. Hope this helps a wandering Mac-stranger.
Execute the pip binary directly.
First locate the version of PIP you want.
jon-mint python3.3 # whereis ip
ip: /bin/ip /sbin/ip /usr/share/man/man8/ip.8.gz /usr/share/man/man7/ip.7.gz
Then execute.
jon-mint python3.3 # pip3.3 install pexpect

Cleaning up...
You should install ALL dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-numpy python3-scipy libatlas-dev libatlas3gf-base
Install pip3(if you have installed, please look step 3):
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Iinstall scikit-learn by pip3
pip3 install -U scikit-learn
Open your terminal and entry python3 environment, type import sklearn to check it.
To install pip for python3 use should use pip3 instead of pip.
To install python in ubuntu 18.08 bionic
before installing a version of python, activate virtual environment so that it won't have any problem in a future versions of python.
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 py3env
source py3env/bin/activate
then install the actual python version you want.
>> sudo apt-get install python3.7
To install the required pip package in ubuntu
>> sudo apt-get install python3-pip
You Can Simply type in terminal/console .
Commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3-pip3
pip3 install package-name
Another way to install python3 is using wget. Below are the steps for installation.
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.5/Python-3.3.5.tar.xz
tar xJf ./Python-3.3.5.tar.xz
cd ./Python-3.3.5
./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.3
make && sudo make install
Also,one can create an alias for the same using
echo 'alias py="/opt/python3.3/bin/python3.3"' >> ~/.bashrc
Now open a new terminal and type py and press Enter.
