Question or problem about Python programming:

I spent most of the day yesterday searching for a clear answer for installing pip (package manager for Python). I can’t find a good solution.

How do I install it?

How to solve the problem:

Solution 1:

UPDATE (Jan 2019):

easy_install has been deprecated. Please use get-pip.py instead:

Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python, which allows Python developers to write software that makes use of services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. You can find the latest, most up to date, documentation at our doc site, including a list of services that are supported. While OS X comes with a large number of Unix utilities, those familiar with Linux systems will notice one key component missing: a package manager. Homebrew fills this void. To install Homebrew, open Terminal or your favorite OS X terminal emulator and run.

Old answer:

If you need admin privileges to run this, try:

⚡️ OK, I read the solutions given above, but here’s an EASY solution to install pip.

MacOS comes with Python installed. But to make sure that you have Python installed open the terminal and run the following command.

If this command returns a version number that means Python exists. Which also means that you already have access to easy_install considering you are using macOS/OSX.

ℹ️ Now, all you have to do is run the following command.

After that, pip will be installed and you’ll be able to use it for installing other packages.

Let me know if you have any problems installing pip this way.

Cheers!

P.S. I ended up blogging a post about it. QuickTip: How Do I Install pip on macOS or OS X?

✅ UPDATE (Jan 2019): METHOD #2: Two line solution —

easy_install has been deprecated. Please use get-pip.py instead.

First of all download the get-pip file

Now run this file to install pip

That should do it.

Solution 3:

You can install it through Homebrew on OS X. /topaz-remask-3-free-download-for-mac.html. Why would you install Python with Homebrew?

The version of Python that ships with OS X is great for learning but
it’s not good for development. The version shipped with OS X may be
out of date from the official current Python release, which is
considered the stable production version. (source)

Homebrew is something of a package manager for OS X. Find more details on the Homebrew page. Once Homebrew is installed, run the following to install the latest Python, Pip & Setuptools:

Solution 4:

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned this – since 2013, python itself is capable of installing pip, no external commands (and no internet connection) required.

This will create a similar install to what easy_install would.

Solution 5:

On Mac:

Download Latest Boto3 Package Mac Os X 10.13

1. Install easy_install

2. Install pip

3. Now, you could install external modules. For example

Hope this helps!
