I gave the command on terminal of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as-

How can I install pip? Please see to the errors above.

Answer 1

Okay so to get pip you need to install those missing dependencies. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update

Then

sudo apt-get upgrade

Next try:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

If that doesn't work then try with -f

Answer 2

run

sudo apt -f install

Then retry the command, if it still doesn't work, I think you need to install/upgrade some packages in errors

Answer 3

After searching a lot finally this works for me

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Then install pip3 with this command:

sudo aptitude install python3-pip
