I'm trying to set up a standard virtual-environment(venv) with python 3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04, with pip (or some way to install packages in the venv). The standard way to install python3.7 seems to be:
% sudo apt install python3.7 python3.7-venv
% python3.7 -m venv py37-venv
but the second command fails, saying:
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip
is not available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the
python3-venv package using the following command.
apt-get install python3-venv
You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the
python3-venv package, recreate your virtual environment.
Failing command: ['/py37-venv/bin/python3.7', '-Im', 'ensurepip',
'--upgrade', '--default-pip']
This is true; there is no ensurepip nor pip installed with this python. And I did install python3.7-venv already (python3-venv is for python3.6 on Debian/Ubuntu). I gather there has been some discussion about this in the python community because of multiple python versions and/or requiring root access, and alternate ways to install python modules via apt or similar.
Creating a venv without pip (--without-pip) succeeds, but then there's no way to install packages in the new venv which seems to largely defeat the purpose.
So what's the accepted "best practice" way to install and use python3.7 on 18.04 with a venv?
I don't know if it's best practices or not, but if I also install python3-venv and python3.7-venv then everything works (this is tested on a fresh stock Debian buster docker image):
% sudo apt install python3.7 python3-venv python3.7-venv
% python3.7 -m venv py37-venv
% . py37-venv/bin/activate
(py37-venv) %
Note that it also installs all of python3.6 needlessly, so I can't exactly say I like it, but at least it does work and doesn't require running an unsigned script the way get-pip.py does.
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 -m venv env
I tried to install ipython notebook on my OS.But there was an error.How can I solve this?
sudo apt-get install ipython-notebook
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ipython-notebook is not available, but is referred to by another packag.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'ipython-notebook' has no installation candidate
Do you already have python installed? If so, try:
sudo apt-get install ipython
or if you have pip:
pip install ipython ipython-notebook
Regardless, I instead recommend installing Anaconda or Miniconda from:
https://www.continuum.io/downloads
This will help you setup virtual environments and packages.
I installed ipython via apt, and then went the pip and virtualenvwrapper route for ipython-notebook, which worked for me. The commands were:
sudo apt -y install ipython
mkvirtualenv ipynb
pip install ipython[notebook]
Alternatively:
sudo apt -y install ipython
mkvirtualenv ipynb
pip install ipython[all]
FWIW, I ran into this error when trying to run the following command on a freshly spun up Ubuntu 18 image (on AWS, ami-0ac019f4fcb7cb7e6):
sudo apt-get install ipython3
E: Package 'ipython3' has no installation candidate
Running an apt-get update solved the problem. So:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ipython3
Interestingly, I was surprised to find that this particular distro doesn't come with Python 2.7 installed, only Python3. That's probably AWS just trying to keep things light, which I appreciate.
Hopefully this helps someone down the line.
As virtually every Linux distro, Ubuntu comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed. In order to execute your Python code, you open your terminal, cd to the directory where the script is and run python script.py
I'm no Python or CentOS (CloudLinux 6.6 + WHM/cPanel) expert, but I'm trying to install an updated version of Python under CentOS with some extra packages and keeping the system version working.
I managet to get Python 2.7 installed by:
yum groupinstall -y development
yum install -y zlib-dev openssl-devel sqlite-devel bzip2-devel
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tgz
tar xzf Python-2.7.6.tgz
cd Python-2.7.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make alt install
If I run python I get Python 2.6.6 and python2.7 gives me Python 2.7.6. Yum also seems to work fine, so I guess I didn't break the system.
Now, my problem is, I need to get Twistd installed on the Python 2.7, and it needs zope.interface also.
How can I install both of them on the Python 2.7 installation at /usr/local?
Also, after that if I want to run a setup for a twistd plugin and run it under the python 2.7 how should I do it?
Thank you.
I would use virtualenv for this. Here is the steps that you can follow:
install virtualenv:
sudo yum install virtualenv
wget bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py --user
pip install virtualenv
create a virtual env for you app, and precise the python binary you want to use:
virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python2.7 ~/venv
Activate it:
source ~/venv/bin/activate
now you are in you virtual env. every python command that you will run will use the python2.7 specified in the command line. Also you can now use pip to install python packages (again, only in your virtual env folder):
pip install Twisted
Dependencies will be handled automatically.
Note that you may need some dev rpm packages as Twisted needs some C compilation.
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.
I want to install pip. It should support Python 3, but it requires setuptools, which is available only for Python 2.
How can I install pip with Python 3?
edit: Manual installation and use of setuptools is not the standard process anymore.
If you're running Python 2.7.9+ or Python 3.4+
Congrats, you should already have pip installed. If you do not, read onward.
If you're running a Unix-like System
You can usually install the package for pip through your package manager if your version of Python is older than 2.7.9 or 3.4, or if your system did not include it for whatever reason.
Instructions for some of the more common distros follow.
Installing on Debian (Wheezy and newer) and Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr and newer) for Python 2.x
Run the following command from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Installing on Debian (Wheezy and newer) and Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr and newer) for Python 3.x
Run the following command from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Note:
On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu install, the package may not be found until you do:
sudo apt-get update
Installing pip on CentOS 7 for Python 2.x
On CentOS 7, you have to install setup tools first, and then use that to install pip, as there is no direct package for it.
sudo yum install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
Installing pip on CentOS 7 for Python 3.x
Assuming you installed Python 3.4 from EPEL, you can install Python 3's setup tools and use it to install pip.
# First command requires you to have enabled EPEL for CentOS7
sudo yum install python34-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
If your Unix/Linux distro doesn't have it in package repos
Install using the manual way detailed below.
The manual way
If you want to do it the manual way, the now-recommended method is to install using the get-pip.py script from pip's installation instructions.
Install pip
To install pip, securely download get-pip.py
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):
python get-pip.py
If setuptools is not already installed, get-pip.py will install setuptools for you.
I was able to install pip for python 3 on Ubuntu just by running sudo apt-get install python3-pip.
Python 3.4+ and Python 2.7.9+
Good news! Python 3.4 (released March 2014) ships with Pip. This is the best feature of any Python release. It makes the community's wealth of libraries accessible to everyone. Newbies are no longer excluded by the prohibitive difficulty of setup. In shipping with a package manager, Python joins Ruby, Nodejs, Haskell, Perl, Go--almost every other contemporary language with a majority open-source community. Thank you Python.
Of course, that doesn't mean Python packaging is problem solved. The experience remains frustrating. I discuss this at Does Python have a package/module management system?
Alas for everyone using an earlier Python. Manual instructions follow.
Python ≤ 2.7.8 and Python ≤ 3.3
Follow my detailed instructions at https://stackoverflow.com/a/12476379/284795 . Essentially
Official instructions
Per https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing.html
Download get-pip.py, being careful to save it as a .py file rather than .txt. Then, run it from the command prompt.
python get-pip.py
You possibly need an administrator command prompt to do this. Follow http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx
For me, this installed Pip at C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe. Find pip.exe on your computer, then add its folder (eg. C:\Python27\Scripts) to your path (Start / Edit environment variables). Now you should be able to run pip from the command line. Try installing a package:
pip install httpie
There you go (hopefully)!
if you're using python 3.4+
just type:
python3 -m pip
For Ubuntu 12.04 or older,
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
won't work. Instead, use:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools ca-certificates
sudo easy_install3 pip
Update 2015-01-20:
As per https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html the current way is:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
I think that should work for any version
Original Answer:
wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
python distribute_setup.py
easy_install pip
Single Python in system
To install packages in Python always follow these steps:
If the package is for python 2.x: sudo python -m pip install [package]
If the package is for python 3.x: sudo python3 -m pip install [package]
Note: This is assuming no alias is set for python
Through this method, there will be no confusion regarding which python version is receiving the package.
Multiple Pythons/Virtual Envs
Say you have python3 ↔ python3.6 and python3.7 ↔ python3.7
To install for python3.6: sudo python3 -m pip install [package]
To instal for python3.7: sudo python3.7 -m pip install [package]
This is essentially the same method as shown previously.
Note 1
How to find which python? Do one of the following:
~ » python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
3.9.5 (default, Nov 18 2021, 16:00:48)
your python3 command spawns:
~ » python3
Python 3.9.5 (default, Nov 18 2021, 16:00:48)
[GCC 10.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
Notice python 3.9.5 in the second line.
or say you are using virtual env and see where your python points to:
» which python
/home/ganesh/os/np-test/bin/python
Note 2
Change what python3 or python points to: https://askubuntu.com/questions/320996/how-to-make-python-program-command-execute-python-3
python3 -m ensurepip
I'm not sure when exactly this was introduced, but it's installed pip3 for me when it didn't already exist.
Older version of Homebrew
If you are on macOS, use homebrew.
brew install python3 # this installs python only
brew postinstall python3 # this command installs pip
Also note that you should check the console if the install finished successfully. Sometimes it doesn't (e.g. an error due to ownership), but people simply overlook the log.
UPDATED - Homebrew version after 1.5
According to the official Homebrew page:
On 1st March 2018 the python formula will be upgraded to Python 3.x and a python#2 formula will be added for installing Python 2.7 (although this will be keg-only so neither python nor python2 will be added to the PATH by default without a manual brew link --force). We will maintain python2, python3 and python#3 aliases.
So to install Python 3, run the following command:
brew install python3
Then, the pip is installed automatically, and you can install any package by pip install <package>.
If your Linux distro came with Python already installed, you should be able to install PIP using your system’s package manager. This is preferable since system-installed versions of Python do not play nicely with the get-pip.py script used on Windows and Mac.

This is the one-liner I copy-and-paste:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
Alternate:
curl -L get-pip.io | python3
From Installing with get-pip.py:
To install pip, securely download get-pip.py by following this link:
get-pip.py. Alternatively, use
curl:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Then run the following command in the folder where you have downloaded
get-pip.py:
python get-pip.py
Warning: Be cautious if you are using a Python install that is managed
by your operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does
not coordinate with those tools, and may leave your system in an
inconsistent state.
If you use several different versions of python try using virtualenv http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#installation
With the advantage of pip for each local environment.
Then install a local environment in the current directory by:
virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.3 ENV --verbose
Note that you specify the path to a python binary you have installed on your system.
Then there are now an local pythonenvironment in that folder. ./ENV
Now there should be ./ENV/pip-3.3
use
./ENV/pip-3.3 freeze to list the local installed libraries.
use ./ENV/pip-3.3 install packagename to install at the local environment.
use ./ENV/python3.3 pythonfile.py to run your python script.
Here is my way to solve this problem at ubuntu 12.04:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev
Then install the python3 from source code:
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.0/Python-3.4.0.tar.xz
tar xvf Python-3.4.0.tar.xz
cd Python-3.4.0
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
When you finished installing all of them, pip3 will get installed automatically.
This is what I did on OS X Mavericks to get this to work.
Firstly, have brew installed
Install python 3.4
brew install python3
Then I get the latest version of distribute:
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.7.3.zip#md5=c6c59594a7b180af57af8a0cc0cf5b4a
unzip distribute-0.7.3.zip
cd distribute-0.7.3
sudo setup.py install
sudo easy_install-3.4 pip
sudo pip3.4 install virtualenv
sudo pip3.4 install virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv py3
python --version
Python 3.4.1
I hope this helps.
pip is installed together when you install Python. You can use
sudo pip install (module)
or
python3 -m pip install (module).
Please follow below steps to install python 3 with pip:
Step 1 : Install Python from download here
Step 2 : you’ll need to download get-pip.py
Step 3 : After download get-pip.py , open your commant prompt and go to directory where your get-pip.py file saved .
Step 4 : Enter command python get-pip.py in cmd.
Step 5 : Pip installed successfully , Verify pip installation by type command in cmd pip --version
What’s New In Python 3.4
...
pip should always be available
...
By default, the commands pipX and pipX.Y will be installed on all platforms (where X.Y stands for the version of the Python installation), along with the pip Python package and its dependencies.
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html#whatsnew-pep-453
so if you have python 3.4 installed, you can just: sudo pip3 install xxx
For python3 try this:
wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python
The good thing is that It will also detect what version of python you have (even if it's an environment of python in your custom location).
After this you can proceed normally with (for example)
pip install numpy
source:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/1.1.6#upgrading-from-setuptools-0-6
Assuming you are in a highly restricted computer env (such as myself) without root access or ability to install packages...
I had never setup a fresh/standalone/raw/non-root instance of Python+virtualenv before this post. I had do quite a bit of Googling to make this work.
Decide if you are using python (python2) or python3 and set your PATH correctly. (I am strictly a python3 user.) All commands below can substitute python3 for python if you are python2 user.
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzvf virtualenv-x.y.z.tar.gz
python3 virtualenv-x.y.z/virtualenv.py --python $(which python3) /path/to/new/virtualenv
source /path/to/new/virtualenv/bin/activate
Assumes you are using a Bourne-compatible shell, e.g., bash
Brilliantly, this virtualenv package includes a standalone version of pip and setuptools that are auto-magically installed into each new virtualenv. This solves the chicken and egg problem.
You may want to create an alias (or update your ~/.bashrc, etc.) for this final command to activate the python virtualenv during each login. It can be a pain to remember all these paths and commands.
Check your version of python now: which python3 should give: /path/to/new/virtualenv/bin/python3
Check pip is also available in the virtualenv via which pip... should give: /path/to/new/virtualenv/bin/pip
Then... pip, pip, pip!
Final tip to newbie Pythoneers: You don't think you need virtualenv when you start, but you will be happy to have it later. Helps with "what if" installation / upgrade scenarios for open source / shared packages.
Ref: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html
To install pip, securely download get-pip.py.
Then run the following:
python get-pip.py
Be cautious if you're using a Python install that's managed by your
operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does not
coordinate with those tools, and may leave your system in an
inconsistent state.
Refer: PIP Installation
And for Windows 8.1/10 OS Users just open cmd (command prompt)
write this : C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
then
just write this : pip3 install {name of package}
Hint: the location of folder Python36-32 may get different for new python 3.x versions
If you used the command "python get-pip.py", you should have the 'pip' function for Python3. However, 'pip' for Python2 might still be present. In my case I uninstalled 'pip', which removed it from Python2.
After that I ran "python get-pip.py" again. (Make sure that 'get-pip.py' is saved in the same folder as Python3.) The final step was to add the directory with 'pip' command to $PATH. That solved it for me.
