.. _`Installation`:
Installation
============
Python & OS Support
-------------------
pip works with CPython versions 2.6, 2.7, 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.
pip included with Python
------------------------
Python 2.7.9 and later (on the python2 series), and Python 3.4
and later include pip by default [1]_, so you may have pip already.
.. _`get-pip`:
Install pip
-----------
To install pip, securely download `get-pip.py
<https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py>`_. [2]_
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):
::
python get-pip.py
If `setuptools`_ is not already installed, ``get-pip.py`` will install
`setuptools`_ for you. [3]_
To upgrade an existing `setuptools`_, run ``pip install -U setuptools``.
Additionally, ``get-pip.py`` supports using the :ref:`pip install options <pip
install Options>` and the :ref:`general options <General Options>`. Below are
some examples:
Install from local copies of pip and setuptools::
python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=/local/copies
Install to the user site [4]_::
python get-pip.py --user
Install behind a proxy::
python get-pip.py --proxy="[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port"
Upgrade pip
-----------
On Linux or OS X:
::
pip install -U pip
On Windows [5]_:
::
python -m pip install -U pip
Using OS 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

.. [2] "Secure" in this context means using a modern browser or a
tool like `curl` that verifies SSL certificates when downloading from
https URLs.
.. [3] Beginning with pip v1.5.1, ``get-pip.py`` stopped requiring setuptools to
be installed first.
.. [4] The pip developers are considering making ``--user`` the default for all
installs, including ``get-pip.py`` installs of pip, but at this time,
``--user`` installs for pip itself, should not be considered to be fully
tested or endorsed. For discussion, see `Issue 1668
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1668>`_.
