Can't install pip on my macOS laptop so I searched on how to install it and told me to use this

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

typed it into the terminal and got an error

raphael@Raphaels-MBP ~ % curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

  0curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

This happened yesterday and just thought that it might work today. But it still doesn't.

Tried other solutions from:

How do I install pip on macOS or OS X?

I can't install PIP on MacOS Sierra

Still didn't work

  • Why are you installing `pip` at all? Pip should have come along with Python when you installed it. Versions of `pip` are usually intimately tied to their accompanying Python version. How did you install your Python(s)? Is `pip` not there for each of them? – CryptoFool Nov 20 '20 at 05:01
  • Yeah, forgot to include that I have also installed python from the official website since it said that it would have pip installed with it. But when I try to type ```pip``` an error would appear ```zsh: command not found: pip``` – Raphael Quinones Nov 20 '20 at 05:17
  • Have you tried `pip3` instead? I think some distributions of Python 3.X use this name only. If you want a `pip` to go with it, just go into the directory that contains `pip3` and do `sudo ln -s pip3 pip`. I believe I did that for each of my recent Python 3.X installs. – CryptoFool Nov 20 '20 at 05:19

  • Thanks @Steve! I think I'll be using pip3 instead of pip – Raphael Quinones Nov 20 '20 at 07:02
