Updated on February 3, 2023

To install pip, you can use the following command:

 
python -m ensurepip --upgrade

This will install or upgrade pip.

Alternatively, you can also download the get-pip.py script and run it using the Python interpreter:

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

You may need to use python3 instead of python depending on your system configuration.
