Installing Pip-3.2 on Cygwin

Question

I have Python 3 installed on Cygwin. However, I am unable to install Python 3 packages via pip. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

On windows, you can use pip to install packages. If you have multiple python installations under cygwin, give the full python path e.g. Python 2

/usr/bin/python2.7 -m pip install pyyaml

Python 3

/usr/bin/python3.6 -m pip install pyyaml

In case you dont have pip installed install it using below command

/usr/bin/python2.7 -m ensurepip 

or

/usr/bin/python3.6 -m ensurepip
