sudo and pip not on the same path

Question

pip and sudo are not on the same path on my machine, so when (basically all the time) I need to run both commands, like so:

sudo pip install xxx

I get:

sudo: pip: command not found

pip downloads packages, but since access is being denied at the end of installation, it ends up failing.

by doing pip -V , ( which pip returns nothing) I get to know where pip is:

pip 1.5.4 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.5.4-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

and by doing sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH' ,

I get:

/usr/bin:~/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Applications/Zed.app/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin

I have tried to symlink pip into sudo's directories, like so:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/bin/pip , to no avail.

How do I put sudo on the same path ?

Answer 1

After installing pip, I did

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/bin/pip

and now root can use pip without any PATH modifications. I had trouble making PATH modifications to the root account.

Answer 2

根据这里： https : //unix.stackexchange.com/a/83194 ，你应该能够像这样运行这个命令：

sudo env 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' pip ...

Answer 3

你试过只做 sudo su 看看它是否有效？

Answer 4

Wherever pip lives, it's not in your path when you sudo. So try this:

sudo /usr/local/bin/pip 

If that doesn't work, then say which pip to find out where pip lives, and proceed accordingly.

Answer 5

It seems like pip is not installed at system level. You can install pip at system level by running sudo apt-get install python-pip from terminal.After this you can upgrade pip by running sudo pip install --upgrade pip .

Answer 6

如果您使用sudo env "PATH=$PATH" pip install xxx ，您应该能够运行正确的pip可执行文件。

Answer 7

Have you tried

sudo -H <your_commands>

?

This should preserve your user environment.
