Recommended way to install pip(3) on centos7

Question

I am interrested in knowing the recommended way to install pip3 for python3.6 (as of today, may 2018) on current version of centos7 (7.5.1804) and the accepted answer of How

Answer 1

Follow these commands in Centos 7

yum install python36
yum install python36-devel
yum install python36-setuptools
easy_install-3.6 pip

to check the pip version:

pip3 -V
pip 18.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip-18.0-py3.6.egg/pip (python 3.6)

Answer 2

Try This::

sudo yum update
sudo yum install -y python36u python36u-libs python36u-devel python36u-pip

Working for me perfectly.

Answer 3

In case you're seeing that pip3 is linked to python2 path:

$ pip3 -V

pip 8.1.2 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

You'll probably get:

$ pip3 install --upgrade pip

TypeError: parse() got an unexpected keyword argument 'transport_encoding'

Then try to clear commands cache with hash -r. This has worked for me:

# Install Python 3:
sudo yum install python36 -y

# Install & Upgrade pip3
sudo python36 -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Validate pip3 installation:
sudo python3.6 -m ensurepip
#  Successfully installed pip-10.0.1 setuptools-39.0.1

# Clear commands cache
hash -r
# might be required if getting in bash: /usr/bin/pip3: No such file or directory)

pip3 -V
# pip 19.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

which pip3
# /usr/local/bin/pip3

pip2 -V
# pip 8.1.2 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

which pip2
# /usr/local/bin/pip2

# Install your Python3 module:
sudo /usr/local/bin/pip3 install {required module for python3}

Answer 4

I got this error when I tried to install python36 over the built-in centos7 python 2.7.5 version:

Transaction check error:
  file /etc/rpm/macros.python from install of python-rpm-macros-3-32.el7.noarch conflicts with file from package python-devel-2.7.5-80.el7_6.x86_64

And I fixed it with these:

yum install python36
yum update python-devel
yum install python36-devel
easy_install-3.6 pip

Answer 5

To install pip for python 3.6 on CentOS 7 you need to run

$ python3.6 -m ensurepip

Answer 6

There is now a python3-pip package in the CentOS 7 base repository as of 2019-08-22. There is no longer a need for third-party repositories or packages.

Installing python3-pip will also install libtirpc, python3, python3-libs, and python3-setuptools:

yum install --assumeyes python3-pip

You can now verify the version (yes, it is old, but it's what is coming from the base repository):

$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

If you don't want to stray from the files provided by the python3-pip package, and you don't want to see warnings about pip being old, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/46288945/534275 for silencing the messages.
