I'm sorry if this is a repeat question, but whenever I search force uninstall of pip I get something like a pip uninstall command. What I want is a way to uninstall the package pip (and reinstall). when I run python3 -m pip uninstall pip setuptools in a conda enviroment I get this error:
Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Can't uninstall 'pip'. No files were found to uninstall.
Found existing installation: setuptools 45.2.0
Not uninstalling setuptools at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Can't uninstall 'setuptools'. No files were found to uninstall.
I also get the same error in the base enviroment when I run /usr/lib/python3 -m pip uninstall pip setuptools.
However when I'm outside of a virtual enviroment (base) and I just run python3 -m pip uninstall pip setuptools, I get:
/home/cameron/anaconda3/bin/python3: No module named pip
I could just remove the file but I want to avoid if that would be problematic.
The problematic thing is I can still install things with pip in my base enviroment but I can't call python programs in my virtual enviroments anymore nor install new ones with pip (perhaps able to with conda) since it defaults to the packages installed with this pip even in a venv.
this should remove pip from your active conda environment
conda uninstall pip --force
I was finally able to remove with sudo apt-get purge python3-pip
I was creating a new virtual environment on Ubuntu 20.04:
$ virtualenv my_env
But it gave an error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.embed.via_app_data'
Other info:
$ virtualenv --version
virtualenv 20.0.17 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py
#yushulx
I also ran into the same issue. I installed both via pip3 and via sudo apt install python3-virtualenv and it gave me an error but after I ran pip3 uninstall virtualenv I could create a virtualenv without issue
Try to create the virtual environment using directly venv module
python3 -m venv my_env
To fix this on Ubuntu 20.04, I had to uninstall virtualenv from the system: apt remove python3-virtualenv, and reinstall it using pip: pip install --user virtualenv --force-reinstall. I had errors about dependencies conflicts, I fixed them by calling pip install --user ${package} --force-reinstall for every package involved.
virtualenv is installed by default with python itself and when you install virtualenv via pip3 and try to create virtual environment using pipenv you will get this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.embed.via_app_data
check the version of installed virtualenv using apt list --installed
mine is:
python3-virtualenv/focal,focal,now 20.0.17-1 all [installed,automatic]
with the installed virtualenv by pip3
min is :
virtualenv 20.4.0
default installation of virtualenv is different with pip3 installed virtualenv
so when you try to create a virtual environment using pipenv for example installing django in a directory home/user/djano with pipenv install django~=3.1.5 you will get that error
the solution is remove installed virtualenv using pip3 uninstall virtualenv and use the default installation of virtualenv this time when you create virtual environment with pipenv it will create it successfully.
I want to have virtualenvwrapper. On Debian 10 testing I did:
apt remove python3-virtualenvwrapper # not purge, I want no changes in ~/.virtualenvs/
apt purge python3-virtualenv
/usr/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --force-reinstall virtualenvwrapper
/usr/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --force-reinstall virtualenv==20.0.23
.24 no longer works. I hope it will be solved sometimes...
EDIT 2021.01: I have changed my stack to: pyenv + pyenv-virtualenvwrapper + poetry. Ie. I use no apt or pip installation of virtualenv or virtualenvwrapper, and instead I install pyenv's plugin pyenv-virtualenvwrapper. This is easier way.
If someone encounters this problem inside existing env (when for example using pyenv) you can also use command below (found on GitHub when tried to fix poetry virtual env installation):
pip install --force-reinstall virtualenv
When I installed virtualenv via pip3, it failed to run virtualenv command. Then I changed the installation via:
sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
The virtualenv command can normally work.
I too had this issue. What I found is it is a permissions issue. For some unknown reason ownership of my home directory was off. I did a chown -R for the directory I was using for my project making myself the owner of my own directory and now everything works as normal.
I also had same issue, seems installed version has different user level so I followed their doc and below one work for me:
python3 -m virtualenv --help
To create new environment:
python3 -m virtualenv my_env
I also faced the same issue but after removing virtualenv which was installed with pip3, I could get rid of this error. Uninstall virtualenv with below command (don't forget to use sudo)
sudo pip3 uninstall virtualenv
After this, virtualenv command works totally fine.
It means that there are two virtualenv in your system.
One is "pip install" by sudo or root, the other may be installed by apt(if you are using ubuntu os)
Just uninstall one of them and the error should be fixed.
I fixed this error by removing all virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper related packages on system and reinstall the virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper with pip with below command(as i use ubuntu, so below only show apt)
remove all packages shown in below result
apt list --installed | grep virtualenvwrapper
apt list --installed | grep virtualenvwrapper
install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper with pip
pip install virtualenvwrapper virtualenvwrapper
set ~/.zshrc
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/amd
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT=/home/robot/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=$(which python3)
source /home/robot/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
When we use pip3 or python3 to install virtualenv then I got that error too. I had to run each time to create virtualenv (my_env is virtual environment name)
python3 -m virtualenv my_env
But if I install it using
sudo apt install virtualenv
Then virtualenv command works fine.
virtualenv my_env
I'm trying to install opencv in my Jetson TX2. I would like to install it within my conda environment. I used the following command to do so,
sudo apt-get install python-opencv
It actually installs opencv but outside the conda so I'm not able to import it within conda. How can I have it installed within my conda?.
apt install for system-wide package install
conda install for installing package in conda environment
Make sure you are in a conda environment.
Run a conda command, instead of an apt-get command.
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
You can just install pip in the conda environment and install opencv using pip.
conda install pip
pip install opencv-python
I wanted to deploy my Python app on Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09.1, which has Python2.7 (default) and pip (6.1.1). Then, I upgraded the pip using the command:
sudo pip install -U pip
However, it seemed broken, and showed the message when I tried to install packages:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==6.1.1
I found out that pip remove the previous files located in /usr/bin/, and installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. Thus, I tried to specify the location by using the command:
sudo pip install -U --install-option="--prefix='/usr/bin'" pip
Nevertheless, it still installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. In addition to that, pip could not work well with sudo although it successfully installed. The error message :
sudo: pip2.7: command not found
Is there a way to properly manage pip?
Try:
sudo which pip
This may reveal something like 'no pip in ($PATH)'.
If that is the case, you can then do:
which pip
Which will give you a path like /usr/local/bin/pip.
Copy + paste the path to pip to the sbin folder by running: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/sbin/
This will allow you to run sudo pip without any errors.
Struggled with this for a while. Here's what I've found:
ec2_user finds the pip executable, but has a module import error due to other having no read/execute permissions on the pip folders in the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages folder. This is actually okay, since in most cases, pip installs fail when not run as root anyway.
sudo cannot find pip.
Entering root with sudo su - allows pip to be run without issue.
The reason sudo pip stops working after the upgrade, is because the executable (or symbolic link) is removed from /usr/bin. However, what remains is a file called pip-27, which contains the following:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'pip==6.1.1','console_scripts','pip2.7'
__requires__ = 'pip==6.1.1'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('pip==6.1.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip2.7')()
)
So, that's where our error comes from, as the upgrade clearly doesn't clean this file up. Not entirely clear on where the name translation from pip to pip-2.7 occurs.
As mentioned in another answer, pip now exists in /usr/local/bin after the upgrade, which is no longer in the sudo secure path. You can add this path to the secure_path variable by running sudo visudo. Another alternative, if you'd prefer to not add that path to your secure_path is to make a symbolic link to the new pip executable in /usr/bin.
The problem is partly answered by your question. The Amazon AMI doesn't consider /usr/local/bin to be part of the root account's PATH. You can fix this by updating the root account's ~/.bashrc to include it.
Something like this...
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
After struggling with this for hours and reading comments
which pip gave /usr/bin/pip , but the actual pip was located at /usr/local/bin/pip due to pip upgrade and clean up was not complete
So removing the pip in /usr/bin/
sudo rm /usr/bin/pip
and also adding the new pip to your export path
vim ~/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin
exit terminal, and login back
which pip should give /usr/local/bin/pip
pip install --upgrade pip
This works for me
sudo /usr/local/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
To add to angelokh
sudo `which pip` install --upgrade pip
I think the best strategy in this case is to manage pip is as part of a virtual environment using virtualenv rather than messing with the system-level version.
If you're OK with that, here's the basic idea:
Install the version of virtualenv packaged with the version of pip you are looking to upgrade to to the system-level pip (e.g. virtualenv==15.1.0 comes with pip==9.0.1):
$ sudo pip install -U virtualenv==15.1.0
You are using pip version 6.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Collecting virtualenv==15.1.0
Downloading virtualenv-15.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.8MB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 1.8MB 135kB/s
Installing collected packages: virtualenv
Found existing installation: virtualenv 12.0.7
Uninstalling virtualenv-12.0.7:
Successfully uninstalled virtualenv-12.0.7
Successfully installed virtualenv-15.1.0
I used the virtualenv release notes to find out which version of pip corresponds to which version of virtualenv.
Create the virtual environment:
$ virtualenv myenv
New python executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python2.7
Also creating executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
Activate the virtual environment and confirm the version and location of the upgraded pip:
$ source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /home/ec2-user/myenv/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
(myenv) $ which pip
~/myenv/bin/pip
This should allow you to install packages to this virtualenv using the pip version of your choice, without the need for sudo.
I think you've didn't installed the pythonXX-pip package.
I've upgraded mine straight to Python3.4, these commands works for me.
sudo su
yum install python34
yum install python34-pip
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.
