python-pip installs but command line pip not found?

Post by wdx12 »

Hello,

I managed to install "python-pip-whl_20.0.2" on Fossapup via ppm ok.

However "pip" won't come up?

In my case I invoke pip like so:

Code: Select all

python3 -m pip install whatever

That assumes python3.~ and the appropriate pip version to match.

you need to install python-pip as well! Then it's:

Code: Select all

pip install <some_module>

and if equipped with both python 2.7 and python 3 it might be:

Code: Select all

pip3 install <some_module>

might need to sort out some symlinks as well

None of the suggestions work?

Package "python-pip-whl_20.0.2" package is installed.

Got it working. Found "python3-pip_20.0.2" in the package manager.

Installed and works.
