- These instructions are intended specifically for installing Pip,a tool for installing and managing Python packages.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Core Managed CentOS 7 server,and I’ll be logged in as root.
There are two options for installing Pip. Use either Option #1 or Option #2 below.
Pip is part of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL),which is a community repository of non-standard packages for the RHEL distribution. First,we’ll install the EPEL repository:
rpm -iUvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
yum -y update
Then let’s install python-pip and any required packages:
yum -y install python-pip
And skip toStep #3.
We can also use curl and python to download and install Pip.
curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"
python get-pip.py

pip --help
Check the version of Pip that is installed:
pip -V
Which should yield something similar to:
pip 1.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
