Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Python & OS Support
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
pip works with CPython versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and also pypy.
|
|
|
|
pip works on Unix/Linux, OS X, and Windows.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Python 2.5 was supported through v1.3.1, and Python 2.4 was supported through v1.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _`get-pip`:
|
|
|
|
Install or Upgrade pip
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To install pip, securely download `get-pip.py
|
|
<https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py>`_. [1]_
|
|
|
|
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ python get-pip.py
|
|
|
|
If `setuptools`_ (or `distribute`_) is not already installed, ``get-pip.py`` will
|
|
install `setuptools`_ for you. [2]_
|
|
|
|
To upgrade an existing `setuptools`_ (or `distribute`_), run ``pip install -U setuptools`` [3]_
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Package Managers
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
On Linux, pip will generally be available for the system install of python using
|
|
the system package manager, although often the latest version will be
|
|
unavailable.
|
|
|
|
On Debian and Ubuntu::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
|
|
|
|
On Fedora::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yum install python-pip
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. [1] "Secure" in this context means using a modern browser or a
|
|
tool like `curl` that verifies SSL certificates when downloading from
|
|
https URLs.
|
|
|
|
.. [2] Beginning with pip v1.5.1, ``get-pip.py`` stopped requiring setuptools to
|
|
be installed first.
|
|
|
|
.. [3] Although using ``pip install --upgrade setuptools`` to upgrade from
|
|
distribute to setuptools works in isolation, it's possible to get
|
|
"ImportError: No module named setuptools" when using pip<1.4 to upgrade a
|
|
package that depends on setuptools or distribute. See :doc:`here for
|
|
details <distribute_setuptools>`.
