Python PIP

PIP is a package manager for Python, which allows you to install and manage additional libraries and dependencies that are not included in the standard Python library.

Why Use PIP?

PIP simplifies the process of installing and managing Python software packages. It is essential for accessing the vast ecosystem of Python packages available in the Python Package Index (PyPI).

How to Install PIP

If you are using Python 3.4+ or Python 2.7.9+, PIP comes pre-installed. If you need to install it manually, you can do so using the following command in your terminal:

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

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

python get-pip.py
