Answer 1

You would need to install pip3.

On Linux, the command would be: sudo apt install python3-pip

On Mac, using brew, first brew install python3
Then brew postinstall python3

Try calling pip3 -V to see if it worked.

Answer 2

I had this issue and I fixed it using the following steps You need to completely uninstall python3-p using:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove python3-pip

Then resintall the package with:

 sudo apt install python3-pip

To confirm that everything works, run:

 pip3 -V

After this you can now use pip3 to manage any python package of your interest. Eg

pip3 install NumPy

Answer 3

Try this if other methods do not work:

1. brew install python3
2. brew link --overwrite python
3. brew postinstall python3

Answer 4

Writing the whole path/directory eg. (for windows) C:\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\pip3.exe install mypackage. This worked well for me when I had trouble with pip.

Answer 5

After yum install python3-pip, check the name of the installed binary. e.g.

ll /usr/bin/pip*

On my CentOS 7, it is named as pip-3 instead of pip3.

Answer 6

its possible if you already have a python installed (pip) you could do a upgrade on mac by

brew upgrade python
