How to install pip in CentOS 7?

Question

CentOS 7 EPEL now includes Python 3.4: yum install python34

However, when I try that, even though Python 3.4 installs successfully, it doesn't appear to install pip. Which is weird, because pip should be included by default with Python 3.4. which pip3 doesn't find anything, nor does which pip.

How do I access pip from the Python 3.4 package in CentOS 7 EPEL release?

Answer 1

There is a easy way of doing this by just using easy_install (A Setuptools to package python librarie).

• Assumption. Before doing this check whether you have python installed into your Centos machine (at least 2.x).

• Steps to install pip.

  1. So lets do install easy_install,

     sudo yum install python-setuptools python-setuptools-devel

  2. Now lets do pip with easy_install,

     sudo easy_install pip

That's Great. Now you have pip :)

Answer 2

Figure out what version of python3 you have installed:

yum search pip

and then install the best match. Use reqoquery to find name of resulting pip3.e.g

repoquery -l python36u-pip

tells me to use pip3.6 instead of pip3

Answer 3

Below are the steps I followed to install python34 and pip

yum update -y
yum -y install yum-utils
yum -y groupinstall development
yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum makecache
yum -y install python34u  python34u-pip
python3.6 -v
echo "alias python=/usr/bin/python3.4" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
pip3 install --upgrade pip

# if yum install python34u-pip doesnt work, try 

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

Answer 4

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.4

Or if you don't have curl for some reason:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3.4 get-pip.py

After this you should be able to run

$ pip3

Answer 5

On CentOS 7, the pip version is pip3.4 and is located here:

/usr/local/bin/pip3.4

Answer 6

yum install python34-pip

pip3.4 install foo

You will likely need the EPEL repositories installed:

yum install -y epel-release
