Installing pip on macOS does not work (anymore)

Question

I followed online instructions on how to install pip on macOS (for example this, this, and this).

I all seems to simple, but it\'s not working for me.

Answer 1

You might have pip3 instead. Use it to upgrade pip.

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Answer 2

Use brew for Macs

brew install python

this will come with pip and both python2 and python3

instructions to bypass 2 python versions (if you want) are at https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installing/

otherwise, it'll just be "python3 <'program'>"

Here's how to install brew: https://www.howtogeek.com/211541/homebrew-for-os-x-easily-installs-desktop-apps-and-terminal-utilities/

Answer 3

easy_install has been deprecated. Use below commands instead.

1. curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

2. python get-pip.py
