The 'pip==7.1.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Question

I have the latest version of pip 8.1.1 on my ubuntu 16. But I am not able to install any modules via pip as I get this error all the time.

File \"/usr/local/         


        

Answer 1

A bit late but if easy_install doesn't solve the issue, this worked fine for me:

$ vim /usr/local/bin/pip

Then run:

:%s/7\.1\.0/8\.1\.1/g
:wq
