Title: Installing Pip on Ubuntu using apt
Introduction:
Pip is a package manager for Python that simplifies the process of installing and managing Python libraries. While Pip can be installed using Pip itself, on Ubuntu, it’s recommended to use the system’s package manager, apt, for initial installation. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Pip on Ubuntu using the apt package manager.
Prerequisites:
Before you begin, make sure you have administrative privileges on your Ubuntu system. You can use the sudo command to execute commands with superuser privileges.
Step 1: Update Package List
It’s a good practice to update the local package list to ensure you have the latest information about available packages. Open a terminal and run the following command:
Step 2: Install Pip
Once the package list is updated, you can install Pip using the apt package manager. Run the following command:

Step 3: Verify Installation
After the installation is complete, you can verify that Pip has been installed successfully by checking its version. Run the following command:
or for Python 2:
You should see the version number of Pip displayed, confirming that the installation was successful.
Step 4: Basic Pip Usage
Now that Pip is installed, you can use it to install Python packages. For example, to install a package called requests, use the following command:
This installs the requests library and its dependencies.
Conclusion:
You have successfully installed Pip on your Ubuntu system using the apt package manager. Pip is now ready to help you manage Python packages for your projects.
Remember that using virtual environments is a good practice to isolate project dependencies. You can create a virtual environment using venv or virtualenv to manage project-specific dependencies without affecting the system-wide Python installation.
