What Is pip?

pip is a package manager for Python.

Installing pip on Linux

$ sudo apt-get install python3.8-pip

Installing pip on Windows

Create a Python file named get_pip.py on your Desktop.

Note: If your file extensions are not visible, type “folder” in the Windows search bar, then in the window that appears uncheck the option Hide extensions for known file types (it’s usually the second item in the list) and save.

Then click this link https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py, copy the code that appears into the get_pip.py file you created, save and close it, and open a shell command line (or cmd) by doing shift + (right-click) on the Desktop.

Typing python get_pip.py will complete the pip installation.
