I'm trying to install pip3, but I'm not having any luck. Also, I tried sudo install
and it did not work. How could I install pip3 on my Mac?
sudo easy_install pip3

UPDATED - Homebrew version after 1.5
According to the official Homebrew page:
On 1st March 2018 the python formula will be upgraded to Python 3.x and a python@2 formula will be added for installing Python 2.7 (although this will be keg-only so neither python nor python2 will be added to the PATH by default without a manual brew link --force). We will maintain python2, python3 and python@3 aliases.
So to install Python 3, run the following command:
brew install python3
Then, the pip
or pip3
is installed automatically, and you can install any package by pip install <package>
.
The older version of Homebrew
Not only brew install python3
but also brew postinstall python3
So you must run:
brew install python3
brew postinstall python3
Note that you should check the console, as it might get you errors and in that case, the pip3
is NOT installed.
I solved the same problem with these commands:
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py
Python3 was working successfully but without pip3. Tried many advises from stackoverflow, quora and others. (numerous installs and uninstalls)
Python3 was always fine but without pip3. Finally I downloaded Python3 from:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
By simple mouse clicks and everything (Python3 + pip3) is working fine now.
For me brew postinstall python3
didn't work. Found this solution on GitHub homebrew issues page:
$ brew rm python
$ rm -rf /usr/local/opt/python
$ brew prune
$ brew install python3
To install or upgrade pip, download get-pip.py from the official site. Then run the following command:
sudo python get-pip.py
and it will install pip
for your python version which runs the script.
Similar to Oksana but add python3
$ brew rm python
$ brew rm python3
$ rm -rf /usr/local/opt/python
$ rm -rf /usr/local/opt/python3
$ brew prune
$ brew install python3
$ brew postinstall python3
Seem now work for pip3 under mac os x 10.13.3 Xcode 9.2
I ran the below where <user>:<group>
matched the other <user>:<group>
for other files in the /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
directory:
sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip*
brew postinstall python3
