Pip is a tool for managing Python packages. Using a package manager allows for efficient management of your server. This tutorial explains how to install Pip on various Linux distros.
This applies to Ubuntu versions:
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 19.10
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 14.04
Update your repository list to make sure the installation will complete successfully:
# apt-get update
After you have updated the repository list, you can install Pip using apt-get
:
# apt-get install python-pip
Now confirm Pip has been installed successfully by executing pip -v
on the command line. If you see a version printed on the screen, the installation was successful.
Update your repository list with yum
:
yum update
We can now install Pip:
yum -y install python-pip
Check your version by executing pip -v
