Python pip installation on Mac is not working

Question

I have a Macbook Air and want to install pip. I have the updated python version. I follow all the instructions but I cannot install any packages.

I have been researching

Answer 1

Try below

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

Answer 2

Install it form here: https://www.python.org/downloads and check "Add to PATH".. . It comes with pip installed

Answer 3

Look at the final warning, which says that these scripts are not in PATH. Open Finder, and copy the listed files into the following directory: /usr/local/bin/

Go to /Users/arnau/Library/Python/2.7/bin. Duplicate the files listed into /usr/local/bin/ so that the command-line can recognize your command, pip.

If you don’t want to do this (which I don’t suggest), you can simply use the other answers for now which say to use python -m pip, which directs the command-line to the current directory of these files, /Users/arnau/Library/Python/2.7/bin. You may, however run into problems in the future doing this, so I suggested my above answer.

I also expect that you won’t want to type an additional 2 keywords every time you have to install a package.

Answer 4

Try this

sudo easy_install pip  

Then

pip install beautifulsoup4

If it doesn't work try this:

python -m pip install beautifulsoup4
