Unable to locate package python-pip

Two Methods:

1) You can install through Ubuntu Software Center.

• Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for easy_install

• Highlight alternative Python package installer (python-pip) from the list and click Install

• You can check weather the installation was successful or not by giving the command

  which pip

• you will see the path of installed application, for example

  /usr/local/bin/pip

2)

• Open terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T and type the following:

  cd ~

to navigate to your home directory.

• Then issue the below command:

  wget -P Downloads/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/tools/oodtsite.publisher/trunk/distribute_setup.py

• Next step is to run the downloaded script. To do this, issue this command:

  sudo python Downloads/distribute_setup.py

• and type your user password when prompted (Please, note that your account needs to be a member of Administrators group in order to issue sudo).

• Hit Enter and let the script run.

• To ensure easy_install is installed, issue the command below:

  which easy_install

• The typical response in case the installation completed successfully would look something like this:

  /usr/local/bin/easy_install

• The next thing to do is use easy_install to install pip. For that you’ll need to issue:

  sudo easy_install pip

• Enter your password if prompted to confirm command.

• Let the installer run and once the installation is completed type:

  which pip

• This command should typically respond with something like this:

  /usr/local/bin/pip
