How to install packages on Linux for Python 2 with pip when Python 3 is installed

Question

I'm trying to install a package for python 2 using pip, however it defaults to installing for python 3. The script I need to run only works in python 2.7, which i do have installed alongside python 3. The pip-2.7 command does not exist, nor pip2. Is there a way besides that to directly install the package? (hexdump, btw if that helps).

Answer 1

Did you checked if Python2 is installed?

Did you tried pip2 command?

What's the result if you do which pip ?

if pip2 or pip2.7 don't work, you can try /usr/bin/pip2 or /usr/bin/pip2.7
