Answer 1

I had a similar issue. In my case, I had to uninstall and then reinstall pip3:

sudo apt-get remove python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Answer 2

On Windows 10 install Python from Python.org Once installed add these two paths to PATH env variable C:\Users<your user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38 C:\Users<your user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts

Open command prompt and following command should be working python --version pip --version

Answer 3

Same issue on Fedora 23. I had to reinstall python3-pip to generate the proper pip3 folders in /usr/bin/.

sudo dnf reinstall python3-pip

Answer 4

You can use python3 -m pip as a synonym for pip3. That has saved me a couple of times.

Answer 5

Run

locate pip3

it should give you a list of results like this

/<path>/pip3
/<path>/pip3.x

go to /usr/local/bin to make a symbolic link to where your pip3 is located

ln -s /<path>/pip3.x /usr/local/bin/pip3

Answer 6

Probably pip3 is installed in /usr/local/bin/ which is not in the PATH of the sudo (root) user. Use this instead

sudo /usr/local/bin/pip3 install virtualenv
