Pip Install

Pip is typically pre-installed with Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4. To install pip, download get-pip.py and run python get-pip.py. Get-pip.py will install pip as well as setuptools and wheel if needed. Pip can be upgraded using pip install -U pip.

Installation
Do I need to install pip?
pip is already installed if you are using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 down‐
loaded from python.org or if you are working in a Virtual Environment created by vir‐
tualenv or pyvenv. Just make sure to upgrade pip.

Installing with get-pip.py


To install pip, securely [1] download get-pip.py by following this link: get-pip.py.
Alternatively, use curl :

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

Then run the following command in the folder where you have downloaded get-
pip.py :

python get-pip.py

Warning: Be cautious if you are using a Python install that is managed by your
operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does not coordinate
with those tools, and may leave your system in an inconsistent state.

get-pip.py also installs setuptools [2] and wheel if they are not already. setup‐
tools is required to install source distributions. Both are required in order to build a
Wheel Cache (which improves installation speed), although neither are required to
install pre-built wheels.

Note: The get-pip.py script is supported on the same python version as pip. For
the now unsupported Python 2.6, alternate script is available here.

get-pip.py allows pip install options and the general options. Below are some ex‐
amples:

Install from local copies of pip and setuptools:

python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=/local/copies

Install to the user site [3]:

python get-pip.py --user

Install behind a proxy:

python get-pip.py --proxy="http://[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port"

get-pip.py can also be used to install a specified combination of pip ,


setuptools , and wheel using the same requirements syntax as pip:

python get-pip.py pip==9.0.2 wheel==0.30.0 setuptools==28.8.0

Using Linux Package Managers


See Installing pip/setuptools/wheel with Linux Package Managers in the Python
Packaging User Guide.

Upgrading pip
On Linux or macOS:

pip install -U pip

On Windows [4]:

python -m pip install -U pip

Python and OS Compatibility


pip works with CPython versions 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and also PyPy.
 v: stable 
This means pip works on the latest patch version of each of these minor versions.
Previous patch versions are supported on a best effort approach.

pip works on Unix/Linux, macOS, and Windows.

[1] “Secure” in this context means using a modern browser or a tool like curl that
verifies SSL certificates when downloading from https URLs.

[2] Beginning with pip v1.5.1, get-pip.py stopped requiring setuptools to be in‐
stalled first.

[3] The pip developers are considering making --user the default for all installs,
including get-pip.py installs of pip, but at this time, --user installs for pip it‐
self, should not be considered to be fully tested or endorsed. For discussion,
see Issue 1668.
