Question

I am using company Macbook and do not have root nor sudo access but need to have Pip installed for Python 3. How to achieve this and set PATHs properly after installation (on Mac, not Linux).

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can install pip3 without root previlege as follow:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py --user

pip3 will be installed locally under /home/$USER/.local/bin/ .

Check the installed version:

$HOME/.local/bin/pip3 -V

or

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
pip3 --version

sample output:

pip 10.0.1 from /home/$USER/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

Answer 2

I found this

curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py >>setup.py
python3 setup.py

here . I have not tested it.
