If you’re using Python 3.4 or later, you can use the ensurepip command.

Using the Ensurepip Method to Install PIP on Mac for Python 3 If you want to install PIP on a Mac, follow the steps we’ve outlined below. There are a few ways to do this, depending on your level of risk. Once you've switched to a Pyenv version, you can run pip without sudo, and install/upgrade packages easily - without interfering with your system Python: pyenv global 3.7.Assuming you’ve installed Python already, you may need to install or update PIP. To check which Python versions are available, run pyenv versions. If you want the “old” system python, run: pyenv global system This switches your python to point to 3.7.4. Now, you can choose your Python version: pyenv global 3.7.4

Choose which Python version you want to use for a given directory, or globallyįor example, to install 3.7, check which versions are available: pyenv install -l | grep 3.7.

That way you don't risk yourself messing around with system-level frameworks (and hence creating a problem removing dependencies etc.). Instead, use a user-level Python distribution installed via pyenv. Here's my number one tip: Do not use sudo with pip. When I try to upgrade pip I'm getting above errors While I was installing it asked me to upgrade pip.
