How to install pip in Python?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to install pip in Python?

Answer 1

Pip (preferred installer program) helps install other packages and libraries in Python. By default, pip is already installed in the latest version of Python, but if you are using an older version, then you have to install pip. For that, refer to the below steps:

First, check the presence of pip in Python. For that simply write:

pip help

If something appears, then it means that you are already having pip in your Python version. If not, then an error will come as pip not found.

After checking, if you are getting the error, then you have to download pip get-pip.py from the below link:

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

Now, open your command prompt and make sure to run it as the administrator.

Then, in the command prompt, type:

Python get-pip.py for installing pip in Python

The above command will install pip. Now, for checking the version of pip, just write:

pip --version
