There is a easy way of doing this by just using easy_install (A Setuptools to package python librarie).

• Assumption. Before doing this check whether you have python installed into your Centos machine (at least 2.x).

• Steps to install pip.

  1. So lets do install easy_install,

     sudo yum install python-setuptools python-setuptools-devel

  2. Now lets do pip with easy_install,

     sudo easy_install pip

That's Great. Now you have pip :)

Answer 2

Figure out what version of python3 you have installed:

yum search pip

and then install the best match. Use reqoquery to find name of resulting pip3.e.g

repoquery -l python36u-pip

Answer 3

On CentOS 7, the pip version is pip3.4 and is located here:

/usr/local/bin/pip3.4

Answer 4

The easiest way I've found to install pip3 (for python3.x packages) on CentOS 7 is:

$ sudo yum install python34-setuptools
$ sudo easy_install-3.4 pip

You'll need to have the EPEL repository enabled before hand, of course.

You should now be able to run commands like the following to install packages for python3.x:

$ pip3 install foo
