Where exactly is pip installed?

Question

I know the newer versions of python come with pip installed. So 'sudo apt-get install python3-pip' gives me that it is installed saying that it is the latest version, then why does 'pip install django' gives an error saying pip is not insatlled? Namely this:

The program 'pip' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install python-pip

I again run 'sudo apt-get install python-pip' (for python 2.7) which installs version 1.5. So i try pip install -U pip and it downloads the package marked 7.1 and succesfully installs. However on checking the version again it is still 1.5

Answer 1

You can install pip with the help of get-pip.py script. you can download this script and execute on your terminal "python get-pip.py". it will install pip on your system. you can also use curl to download get-pip.py script- curl " https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py " -o "get-pip.py".

To verify the installation you can use- pip --help pip -V
