I'm trying to install software in kali that requires my Python version to be 3.6.9 or lower.
I also need to install pip to install requirements.
I have Python3.6.9 installed and when I run #apt-get install python3-pip
It also updates my Python version to 3.10
Is there a way to get pip installed without upgrading my python version?
If you are looking to install pip on to an existing python installation, which did not come with pip pre-installed, you can use the bootstrap script to that.
Like
curl -sSL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py #or python3
If you want to update the pip version installed, then you can use
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
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.
=>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

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.
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.
=>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
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.
Advanced Package Tool (Python 2.x)

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

OS X (Mavericks) has Python 2.7 stock installed. But I do all my own personal Python stuff with 3.3. I just flushed my 3.3.2 install and installed the new 3.3.3. So I need to install pyserial again. I can do it the way I've done it before, which is:
Download pyserial from pypi
untar pyserial.tgz
cd pyserial
python3 setup.py install
But I'd like to do like the cool kids do, and just do something like pip3 install pyserial. But it's not clear how I get to that point. And just that point. Not interested (unless I have to be) in virtualenv yet.
UPDATE: This is no longer necessary as of Python3.4. pip3 is installed as part of the general Python3 installation.
I ended up posting this same question on the python mailing list, and got the following answer:
# download and install setuptools
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py
python3 ez_setup.py
# download and install pip
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py
Which solved my question perfectly. After adding the following for my own:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip pip
So that I could run pip directly, I was able to:
# use pip to install
pip install pyserial
or:
# Don't want it?
pip uninstall pyserial
I had to go through this process myself and chose a different way that I think is better in the long run.
I installed homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then:
brew doctor
The last step gives you some warnings and errors that you have to resolve. One of those will be to download and install the Mac OS X command-line tools.
then:
brew install python3
This gave me python3 and pip3 in my path.
pieter$ which pip3 python3
/usr/local/bin/pip3
/usr/local/bin/python3
Install Python3 on mac
1. brew install python3
2. curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
3. python3
Use pip3 to install modules
1. pip3 install ipython
2. python3 -m IPython
:)
Here is my simple solution:
If you have python2 and python3 both installed in your system, the pip upgrade will point to python2 by default. Hence, we must specify the version of python(python3) and use the below command:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
This command will uninstall the previously installed pip and install the new version- upgrading your pip.
This will save memory and declutter your system.
Image - How the upgrading of pip in Python3 works on MacOS
Plus:
when you install requests with python3, the command is:
pip3 install requests
not
pip install requests
brew install python3
create alias in your shell profile
eg. alias pip3="python3 -m pip" in my .zshrc
➜ ~ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
To use Python EasyInstall (which is what I think you're wanting to use), is super easy!
sudo easy_install pip
so then with pip to install Pyserial you would do:
pip install pyserial
On Mac OS X Mojave python stands for python of version 2.7 and python3 for python of version 3. The same is pip and pip3. So, to upgrade pip for python 3 do this:
~$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
Also, it's worth to mention that Max OSX/macOS users can just use Homebrew to install pip3.
$> brew update
$> brew install python3
$> pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
On MacOS 10.12
download pip: pip as get-pip.py
download python3: python3
install python3
open terminal: python3 get-pip.py
pip3 is available
pip is installed automatically with python2 using brew:
brew install python3
pip3 --version
simply run following on terminal if you don't have pip installed on your mac.
sudo easy_install pip
download python 3 here: python3
once you're done with these 2 steps, make sure to run the following to verify whether you've installed them successfully.
python3 --version
pip3 --version
For a fresh new Mac, you need to follow below steps:-
Make sure you have installed Xcode
sudo easy_install pip
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew doctor
brew install python3
And you are done, just type python3 on terminal and you will see python 3 installed.
I had the same problem with python3 and pip3. Decision: solving all conflicts with links and other stuff when do
brew doctor
After that
brew reinstall python3
I'm using MacOS 11.6 and in my case I did two things;
Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/ clicking on first link Download macOS 64-bit universal2 installer from Stable Releases list
Create alias for Python3 running the following command on Terminal echo "alias python='/usr/bin/python3'" > ~/.bash_profile
After that open a new terminal and type python -V to check if the version of python 3 is enabled by default for your use so now you can use the command pip3 to install your packages like pip3 install somepackage
use port to install it, it is better than brew, in case you have an old machine.
sudo port install py38-pip
