How to install pip with Python 3?

Question

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.

Pip's website says that it already comes with Python 3.4+ if you downloaded from python.org. However, when I type pip on terminal, I get command not found. So I decided to go through the python3's install docs again, where it mentions that python and pip should be accessed using the commands python3 and pip3 instead. This is not obvious from the documentation on either site. – Apr 09 '16 at 18:54

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)!

This is not true: "And, alas for everyone using an earlier Python. There's no plan to ship Pip to you." `pip` is shipped with 2.7.9+ as well as 3.4.0+. Of course that doesn't help people on 2.6 or 3.2, but the majority of people who need to use an earlier Python than 3.4 need to use 2.7. – abarnert May 17 '15 at 10:18

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

Of all these methods, this is the only way I managed to get pip to install for python3.5 when I have both 3.4 and 3.5 on the system. — Christopher Hunter, Oct 16 '18 at 21:41
can't thank you enough. managing per version install/uninstall is a nightmare no longer. — None, Jan 31 '20 at 09:00
No idea why this answer is upvoted. Question is regarding how to install pip and not how to install packages via pip. As a side-note, using sudo to install packages via pip is asking for dependency hell. Using pip you probably want to scope to your account or to a virtual environment. — olivervbk, Jun 29 '23 at 03:35

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>.

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.

For python3 try this:

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

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

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.

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.

pip is installed together when you install Python. You can use sudo pip install (module) or python3 -m pip install (module).

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.

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

You can also do this in PowerShell of course. Also the '-32' refers to the 32bit version of Python. So for me the path was .\Python37\scripts\ as I was targeting the 64bit version of Python. – Nicholas Leader Jul 26 '19 at 16:31

This doesn't answer the question asked, which was about how to install pip, not how to install stuff *with* pip. – Mark Amery Jan 18 '20 at 22:58

=>Easy way to install Python any version on Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 20.04 follow these steps:-

Step 1: Update Local Repositories:-

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Supporting Software:-

sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev wget

Step3: Create directory on your home directory To download the newest release of Python Source Code, navigate to the /python-source-files directory and use the wget command:-

mkdir python-source-files

Step 4: Download the Latest Version of Python Source Code:-

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.5/Python-3.7.5.tgz

"you can change python version by just modifies this:-"3.7.5" with the version you want example:-"3.5.2"

Step 5: Extract Compressed Files:-

tar –xf Python-3.7.5.tgz or tar xvzf Python-3.7.5.tgz

Step 6: Test System and Optimize Python:-

cd python-3.7.5 or your version of python.

Step 7: Now configure(Using the ––optimization option speeds code execution by 10-20%.):-

./configure ––enable–optimizations

OR you can also do this also if you facing ssl error:-

./configure --with-openssl

Step 8: Install a Second Instance of Python:-

sudo make altinstall

"It is recommended that you use the altinstall method. Your Ubuntu system may have software packages dependent on Python 2.x.

OR

If you want to Overwrite Default Python Installation/version:-

sudo make install"

Step 9:Now check Python Version:-

python3 ––version

Step 10: To install pip for python3 just go with this command:-

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

"easy way of installing" and you recommend building the python source? way easier is to use the existing python installation and grab the get-pip.py file. — olivervbk, Jun 29 '23 at 03:36
