Introduction
Welcome Turk Hack Team Members, I'll show you how to install pip today.
PIP is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. It stands for preferred installer program or Pip Installs Packages.
PIP for Python is a utility to manage PyPI package installations from the command line.
If you are using an older version of Python on Windows, you may need to install PIP. You can easily install PIP on Windows by downloading the installation package, opening the command line, and launching the installer.
This tutorial will show how to install PIP on Windows, check its version, upgrade, and configure.
Prerequisites
Step 1: Check if PIP is Already Installed
Before you install PIP on Windows, check if PIP is already installed.
Type in the following command at the command prompt:
If PIP responds, then PIP is installed. Otherwise, there will be an error saying the program could not be found.
PIP is automatically installed with Python 2.7.9+ and Python 3.4+.
PIP also comes with the virtualenv and pyvenv virtual environments.
Step 2: Verify Python Installation
As a Python utility, PIP requires an active Python installation. In newer versions of Python and Python-enabled virtual environments, PIP is already installed, and you do not need to reinstall it.
To determine whether you have Python installed:
Open the Command Prompt window.
When the console window opens, type in:
If this command is not unrecognized, you need to install Python before you can install PIP.
If the command is recognized, Python responds with its version and a list of commands.
When Python is installed correctly, you should see:
Installing PIP On Windows
Step 1: Download PIP get-pip.py
Before installing PIP, download the get-pip.py file: get-pip.py on pypa.io.
Download the file to the desired folder in Windows. You can save the file to any Iocation, but remember the path so you can use it later.
Step 2: Launch Windows Command Line
PIP is a command-line program. When you install PIP, the PIP command is added to your system.
To launch the Command Prompt window:
Press Windows Key + X.
Click Run.
Type in cmd.exe and hit enter.
Alternatively, type cmd in the Windows search bar and click the Command Prompt icon.
Both options open the Command Prompt window. However, note that you may need to run the Command Prompt As Administrator. If you get an error at any point stating that you dont have the necessary permissions to perform a task, you will need to open the app as admin.
To run the Command Prompt window As Administrator, right-click Command Prompt and then select the Run as option.
Step 3: Installing PIP on Windows
Open the Command Prompt if it isnt already open. Use the cd command followed by a folder name to navigate to the Iocation of the get-pip.py file. This is the folder you previously used as the download Iocation.
To install PIP type in the following:
python get-pip.py
PIP installation should start. If the file isnt found, double-check the path to the folder where you saved the file.
You can view the contents of your current directory using the following command:
dir
The dir command returns a full listing of the contents of a directory.
Step 4: How to Check PIP Version
To check the current version of PIP, type the following command:
This command returns the current version of the platform.
Step 5: Verify Installation
Once youve installed PIP, you can test whether the installation has been successful by typing the following:
If PIP has been installed, the program runs, and you should see:
If you receive an error, repeat the installation process.
Step 6: Configuration
In Windows, the PIP configuration file is %HOME%\pip\pip.ini.
There is also a legacy per-user configuration file. The file is located at %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini.
You can set a custom path Iocation for this config file using the environment variable PIP_CONFIG_FILE.
Upgrading PIP for Python on Windows
New versions of PIP are released occasionally. These versions may improve the functionality or be obligatory for security purposes.
You can upgrade PIP on Windows using the Command Prompt window.
To upgrade PIP on Windows, enter the following in the command prompt:
This command first uninstalls the old version of PIP and then installs the most current version of PIP.
Downgrade PIP Version
This may be necessary if a new version of PIP starts performing undesirably.
If you want to downgrade PIP to a prior version, you can do so by specifying the version.
To downgrade PIP, enter:
You should now see the version of PIP that you specified.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you have installed PIP for Python on Windows.
Now that you have PIP up and running, you are ready to manage your Python packages.
