I've installed Python3.7 on Ubuntu using sudo apt-get install python3.7. Python3.7 installs, but the dist-packages folder is empty and pip and other packages cannot be installed.
Is there a way to build out the dist-packages folder?
You should install pip3 through apt too!
sudo apt install python3-pip
You could try and start again following the guide given by python or see if there's anything you've missed.
https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/linux/
Also I'm not sure if this will work, but try sudo apt-get install python.

I'm trying to install modules such as gitpython into my Python3 directory however when I run:
Pip install gitpython it automatically downloads it into python2.7
I've tried specify the Python3 directory but it says the the library has already been installed.
Requirement already satisfied: gitpython in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (2.1.11)
Problem is when I try to call from git import repo my Python3 can't find the module.
Is there anyway to get pip to install my libraries to Python3 as a default, can I just uninstall Python 2.7 to save problems?
I run
sudo apt install python3-pip
and it states it is already installed, so I run sudo pip3 install gitpython and it says Command 'pip3' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install python3-pip
SOLUTION
sudo apt-get remove python3-pip; sudo apt-get install python3-pip
It depends of your version of pip. But I think that python3-pip may do the trick.
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install MODULE_NAME
You should use pip3 to install your packages in your python3 environment. thus instead of installing with pip use pip3 install gitpython
You can try to see the version of python with:
python --version
if the result is python 2.7, that means that your environment variable for python3 needs to be set.
After that you can try:
python -m pip install package_name
I hope it will help you =)

You should use python3 venv Python 3 venv
python3 -m venv /path/virtual/environment
source /path/virtual/environment/bin/activate
or use pip3 to installing any libraries for python 3
$ pip3 install 'some library'
You should create virtual environment for python3. using:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 <VIRTUAL_ENV NAME>
Then activate it using:
source <VIRTUAL_ENV NAME>/bin/activate
Then install your dependency(gitpython in your case) into that.
I've installed Python 3.7 on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. Following this instructions in case it's relevant:
Download : Python 3.7 from Python Website [1] ,on Desktop and manually
unzip it, on Desktop Installation : Open Terminal (ctrl +shift+T)
Go to the Extracted folder
$ cd ~/Desktop/Python-3.7.0
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Making Python 3.7 default Python :
$ sudo vim ~/.bashrc
press i
on the last and new line - Type
alias python= python3.7
press Esc
type - to save and exit vim
:wq
now type
$ source ~/.bashrc

I've downloaded several modules through pip install module but when I try to import them, I get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module names 'xx'
So I did some research and apparently when used pip to install, it installed in the modules in previous version of Python.
Somewhere (probably a question in SO) I found a suggestion to install the module using python3.7 -m pip install module but then I get /usr/local/bin/python3.7: no module named pip.
Now I'm stuck, pip is installed, but apparently not for Python 3.7. I'm assuming that if I can install pip for Python 3.7, I can run the pip install command and get the modules I need.
If that is the case, how can I install pip for python 3.7, since it's already installed?
This is the best I have come up with:
I have installed python 3.7 successfully and I can install modules using pip (or pip3) but those modules are installed in Python 3.6 (Comes with ubuntu). Therefore I can't import those modules in python 3.7 (get a module not found)
Python 3.7 doesn't recognize pip/pip3, so I can't install through pip/pip3
I need python 3.7
In general, don't do this:
pip install package
because, as you have correctly noticed, it's not clear what Python version you're installing package for.
Instead, if you want to install package for Python 3.7, do this:
python3.7 -m pip install package
Replace package with the name of whatever you're trying to install.
Took me a surprisingly long time to figure it out, too. The docs about it are here.
Your other option is to set up a virtual environment. Once your virtual environment is active, executable names like python and pip will point to the correct ones.
A quick add-on to mpenkov's answer above (didn't want this to get lost in the comments)
For me, I had to install pip for 3.6 first
sudo apt install python3-pip
now you can install python 3.7
sudo apt install python3.7
and then I could install pip for 3.7
python3.7 -m pip install pip
and as a bonus, to install other modules just preface with
python3.7 -m pip install <module>
EDIT 1 (12/2019):
I know this is obvious for most. but if you want python 3.8, just substitute python3.8 in place of python3.7
EDIT 2 (5/2020):
For those that are able to upgrade, Python 3.8 is available out-of-the-box for Ubuntu 20.04 which was released a few weeks ago.
This works for me.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Then this command with sudo:
python3.7 get-pip.py
Based on this instruction.
I used apt-get to install python3.7 in ubuntu18.04. The installations are as follows.
install python3.7
sudo apt-get install python3.7
install pip3. It should be noted that this may install pip3 for python3.6.
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
change the default of python3 for python3.7. This is where the magic is, which will make the pip3 refer to python3.7.
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.7 1
Hope it works for you.
To install all currently supported python versions (python 3.6 is already pre-installed) including pip for Ubuntu 18.04 do the following:
To install python3.5 and python3.7, use the deadsnakes ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.5
sudo apt-get install python3.7
Install python2.7 via distribution packages:
sudo apt install python-minimal # on Ubuntu 18.04 python-minimal maps to python2.7
To install pip use:
sudo apt install python-pip # on Ubuntu 18.04 this refers to pip for python2.7
sudo apt install python3-pip # on Ubuntu 18.04 this refers to pip for python3.6
python3.5 -m pip install pip # this will install pip only for the current user
python3.7 -m pip install pip
I used it for setting up a CI-chain for a python project with tox and Jenkins.
Combining the answers from #mpenkon and #dangel, this is what worked for me:
sudo apt install python3-pip
python3.7 -m pip install pip
Step #1 is required (assuming you don't already have pip for python3) for step #2 to work. It uses pip for Python3.6 to install pip for Python 3.7 apparently.
When i use apt install python3-pip, i get a lot of packages need install, but i donot need them. So, i DO like this:
apt update
apt-get install python3-setuptools
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py
rm -f get-pip.py
The following steps can be used:
sudo apt-get -y update
---------
sudo apt-get install python3.7
--------------
python3.7
-------------
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
-----------------
sudo apt install python3-pip
-----------------
sudo apt install python3.7-venv
-----------------
python3.7 -m venv /home/ubuntu/app
-------------
cd app
----------------
source bin/activate
Install python pre-requisites
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev wget
Install python 3.7 (from ppa repository)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.7
Install pip3.7
sudo apt install python3-pip
python3.7 -m pip install pip
Create python and pip alternatives
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.7 10
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/pip pip /home/your_username/.local/bin/pip3.7 10
Make changes
source ~/.bashrc
python --version
pip --version
For those who intend to use venv:
If you don't already have pip for Python 3:
sudo apt install python3-pip
Install venv package:
sudo apt install python3.7-venv
Create virtual environment (which will be bootstrapped with pip by default):
python3.7 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
To activate the virtual environment, source the appropriate script for the current shell, from the bin directory of the virtual environment. The appropriate scripts for the different shells are:
bash/zsh – activate
fish – activate.fish
csh/tcsh – activate.csh
For example, if using bash:
source /path/to/new/virtual/environment/bin/activate
Optionally, to update pip for the virtual environment (while it is activated):
pip install --upgrade pip
When you want to deactivate the virtual environment:
deactivate
I installed pip3 using
python3.7 -m pip install pip
But upon using pip3 to install other dependencies, it was using python3.6.
You can check the by typing pip3 --version
Hence, I used pip3 like this (stated in one of the above answers):
python3.7 -m pip install <module>
or use it like this:
python3.7 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
I made a bash alias for later use in ~/.bashrc file as alias pip3='python3.7 -m pip'. If you use alias, don't forget to source ~/.bashrc after making the changes and saving it.
How about simply
add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install python3.7-dev
alias pip3.7="python3.7 -m pip"
Now you have the command
pip3.7
separately from pip3.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3.7
if all else fails.
pip3 not pip. You can create an alias like you did with python3 if you like.
I have just created a virtual environment on my machine (I am running on ubuntu 18.04 LTS). I have the python version of 3.6.7 and now I want to install mysqlclient into my virtual environment.
After I do pip install mysqlclient it didn't work, instead it gave me errors saying;
Command "python.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-zd21vfb3/mysqlclient/', and that the msql_config file is not found.
My setup tools are all up to date.
mysqlclient has a dependency on the mysql client & dev packages being installed. In order to fix this on ubuntu, you have to use apt-get to install a couple of mysql packages.
In your case, it looks like the missing mysql_config might be missing on your system. You can fix that by installing libmysqlclient-dev on ubuntu bionic.
In order to correctly install MySQLClient on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS you need to install each of the following:
# Replace python3.6 with which ever version of Python3 you are using
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
The last one is often missed on answers but is required now.
Only then can you install it via pip. Also make sure to update pip so you are not using version 9 if that installs into your vevn.
I was getting the same error when building my docker container. I tried installing the following in sequence but did not work.
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Then this 👇 solved the problem.
sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev
Check if you have already installed setuptools.
After that
in terminal
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Then(Keeping in mind to activate the virtual enviroment)
sudo pip3 install mysqlclient
I was installing pip for python3. I used the following command for that:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
But after installation it still says pip is not installed.
I have python 3.5.2 installed.
The python3-pip package installs pip for Python 3, which is named pip3. Plain pip is pip for Python 2, which is installed by the python-pip package.
The best way to install it, is by :
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
cd ~/Downloads/ (if your version is english, in french you find it Téléchargements)
Then once you downloaded it, try :
sudo python3 get-pip.py
easy_install -U pip : this solved my problem on ubuntu 16.04
I am very new to Ubuntu OS and Python as well. I want to install Django. But i dont have easy_install and I tried below command to install pip
sudo apt-get install python-pip
I got an error as below
Unable to locate package python-pip
I tried below command as well
sudo apt-get install python-pip
and i got error as below
E: Package 'python-setuptools' has no installation candidate
I am very confused in installing django, How to successfully install django
First update repositories
sudo apt-get update
then try
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential python-setuptools
if nothing, you can install pip and setuptools packages manually. Download them from PyPI.
Install pip
To install or upgrade pip, securely download get-pip.py.
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):
sudo python get-pip.py
If setuptools (or distribute) is not already installed, get-pip.py will install setuptools for you.
To upgrade an existing setuptools (or distribute), run pip install -U setuptools
Upgrade pip
On Linux or OS X:
sudo pip install -U pip
Then you can download django using pip,
sudo pip install django
Install
First you need make sure you have Python install, here I take 2.7.6 as example. For how to install Python, you can go check this link:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/443048/python-2-7-6-on-ubuntu-12-04-how-to
Then you can start install Django and setup database as follow:
sudo apt-get install python-django
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
You can find more configuration detail in this link
http://yuwenqing.org/?p=108
Also, for less pain in future develop, you should deploy your Django application in python virtualEnv, here are some detail of why you need virtualEnv.
