This error occurs when you try to use pip, but it is not installed in your Python environment. This can happen if you skip installing pip when installing Python or when creating a virtual environment, or after explicitly uninstalling pip.

You can solve this error by downloading pip using the following curl command

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

Then install pip by running:

python3 get-pip.py

If this does not work, you can use ensurepip to bootstrap the pip installer into an existing Pip installation or virtual environment. For example,

# Linux
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

# MacOS
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

# Windows
py -m ensurepip --upgrade

This tutorial will go through the ways to ensure pip is installed in your environment.

Install pip by Downloading get-pip.py

Download pip by running the following curl command:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

The curl command allows you to specify a direct download link. Using the -o option sets the name of the downloaded file.

Install pip by running:

python3 get-pip.py

Bootstrap pip using ensurepip

You can use ensurepip to bootstrap the pip installer into an existing Pip installation or virtual environment. For example,

# Linux
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

# MacOS
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

# Windows
py -m ensurepip --upgrade

Install pip using Operating System Specific command

If the above solutions do not work, you can try to install pip using the command specific to your operating system.

Installing pip for Linux

All major Linux distributions have Python installed by default. However, you will need to install pip. You can install pip from the terminal, but the installation instructions depend on the Linux distribution you are using. You will need root privileges to install pip. Open a terminal and use the commands relevant to your Linux distribution to install pip.

Installing pip for Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint

sudo apt install python-pip3

Installing pip for CentOS 8 (and newer), Fedora, and Red Hat

sudo dnf install python-pip3

Installing pip for CentOS 6 and 7, and older versions of Red Hat

sudo yum install epel-release

sudo yum install python-pip3

Installing pip for Arch Linux and Manjaro

sudo pacman -S python-pip

Installing pip for OpenSUSE

sudo zypper python3-pip

Installing pip for Mac Operating System

You can install Python3 and pip3 using brew with the following command:

brew install python

Upgrading pip

You may also need to upgrade pip, which you can do with the following commands:

# Linux
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

# MacOS
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Windows
py -m pip install --upgrade pip

Check pip and Python version

Ensure that the Python version in use matches the pip version. You can check versions from the command line using the --version flag. For example,

python --version

Python 3.8.8

pip --version

pip 21.2.4 from /Users/Research/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

Note that the –version returns the version of Python is 3.8.8, and the pip installer in use is for 3.8.

Recreate Virtual Environment

If you are using a virtual environment and the error persists despite trying the above solutions, you can recreate the environment. For example,

# deactivate environment

deactivate

# remove the virtual environment folder

rm -rf venv

# Initial a new virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv

# Activate on Linux/MacOS

source venv/bin/activate

# Activate on Windows (cmd.exe)

venvScriptsactivate.bat

# Activate on Windows (PowerShell)

venvScriptsActivate.ps1

Have fun and happy researching!

1. Overview

In this tutorial, we’ll see how to solve a popular Python error on Linux Mint and Ubuntu:

ImportError: No module named pip

The error is raised when you try to install new package or running command like:

python3 -m pip list

In the next sections we will see how to solve the error

To install pip module on Linux Mint or Ubuntu we can use apt-get and install it as follows:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Now after running:

python3 -m pip list

you should get something like:

Package                  Version             
------------------------ --------------------
apt-clone                0.2.1               
apturl                   0.5.2               
attrs                    19.3.0        

3. Install pip with ensurepip module

Alternatively we can install pip from Python itself by running. Most python versions are shipped with module ensurepip which can be used for installation:

python -m ensurepip --upgrade

The command above will work for Linux distros. If you like to learn more you can check: pip documentation v22.0.3.

4. Manual Installation of pip module

Finally if you prefer to manually download and install pip you can follow next steps:

• Download the script, from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
• Open Terminal
• move to the folder containing the get-pip.py file
• Run python get-pip.py

Or simply:

cd ~/Downloads
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

This method is perfect if you need to install pip offline.

5. Conclusion

To conclude, this article shows how to solve the «ImportError: No module named pip» error in several different ways.

All solutions are tested on Linux Mint and Ubuntu. Some of them might work on Windows or Mac with small changes. For further reference please check the official documentation: pip installation on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Quick Fix: Python raises the ImportError: No module named 'pip' when it cannot find the library pip. The most frequent source of this error is that you haven’t installed pip explicitly with pip install pip. Alternatively, you may have different Python versions on your computer, and pip is not installed for the particular version you’re using.

Problem Formulation

You’ve just learned about the awesome capabilities of the pip library and you want to try it out, so you start your code with the following statement:

import pip

This is supposed to import the Pandas library into your (virtual) environment. However, it only throws the following ImportError: No module named pip:

>>> import pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
    import pip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Solution Idea 1: Install Library pip

The most likely reason is that Python doesn’t provide pip in its standard library. You need to install it first!

Before being able to import the Pandas module, you need to install it using Python’s package manager pip. Make sure pip is installed on your machine.

To fix this error, you can run the following command in your Windows shell:

$ pip install pip

This simple command installs pip in your virtual environment on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. It assumes that your pip version is updated. If it isn’t, use the following two commands in your terminal, command line, or shell (there’s no harm in doing it anyways):

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install pandas

💡 Note: Don’t copy and paste the $ symbol. This is just to illustrate that you run it in your shell/terminal/command line.

Solution Idea 2: Fix the Path

The error might persist even after you have installed the pip library. This likely happens because pip is installed but doesn’t reside in the path you can use. Although pip may be installed on your system the script is unable to locate it. Therefore, it is unable to install the library using pip in the correct path.

To fix the problem with the path in Windows follow the steps given next.

Step 1: Open the folder where you installed Python by opening the command prompt and typing where python

Step 2: Once you have opened the Python folder, browse and open the Scripts folder and copy its location. Also verify that the folder contains the pip file.

Step 3: Now open the Scripts directory in the command prompt using the cd command and the location that you copied previously.

Step 4: Now install the library using pip install pip command. Here’s an analogous example:

After having followed the above steps, execute our script once again. And you should get the desired output.

Other Solution Ideas

• The ModuleNotFoundError may appear due to relative imports. You can learn everything about relative imports and how to create your own module in this article.
• You may have mixed up Python and pip versions on your machine. In this case, to install pip for Python 3, you may want to try python3 -m pip install pip or even pip3 install pip instead of pip install pip
• If you face this issue server-side, you may want to try the command pip install --user pip
• If you’re using Ubuntu, you may want to try this command: sudo apt install pip
• You can check out our in-depth guide on installing pip here.
• You can also check out this article to learn more about possible problems that may lead to an error when importing a library.

Understanding the “import” Statement

import pip

In Python, the import statement serves two main purposes:

• Search the module by its name, load it, and initialize it.
• Define a name in the local namespace within the scope of the import statement. This local name is then used to reference the accessed module throughout the code.

What’s the Difference Between ImportError and ModuleNotFoundError?

What’s the difference between ImportError and ModuleNotFoundError?

Python defines an error hierarchy, so some error classes inherit from other error classes. In our case, the ModuleNotFoundError is a subclass of the ImportError class.

You can see this in this screenshot from the docs:

You can also check this relationship using the issubclass() built-in function:

>>> issubclass(ModuleNotFoundError, ImportError)
True

Specifically, Python raises the ModuleNotFoundError if the module (e.g., pip) cannot be found. If it can be found, there may be a problem loading the module or some specific files within the module. In those cases, Python would raise an ImportError.

If an import statement cannot import a module, it raises an ImportError. This may occur because of a faulty installation or an invalid path. In Python 3.6 or newer, this will usually raise a ModuleNotFoundError.

How to Fix “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pip’” in PyCharm

If you create a new Python project in PyCharm and try to import the pip library, it’ll raise the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/.../main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Process finished with exit code 1

The reason is that each PyCharm project, per default, creates a virtual environment in which you can install custom Python modules. But the virtual environment is initially empty—even if you’ve already installed pip on your computer!

Here’s a screenshot exemplifying this for the pandas library. It’ll look similar for pip.

The fix is simple: Use the PyCharm installation tooltips to install Pandas in your virtual environment—two clicks and you’re good to go!

First, right-click on the pandas text in your editor:

Second, click “Show Context Actions” in your context menu. In the new menu that arises, click “Install Pandas” and wait for PyCharm to finish the installation.

The code will run after your installation completes successfully.

As an alternative, you can also open the Terminal tool at the bottom and type:

$ pip install pip

If this doesn’t work, you may want to set the Python interpreter to another version using the following tutorial: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/2016.1/configuring-python-interpreter-for-a-project.html

You can also manually install a new library such as pip in PyCharm using the following procedure:

• Open File > Settings > Project from the PyCharm menu.
• Select your current project.
• Click the Python Interpreter tab within your project tab.
• Click the small + symbol to add a new library to the project.
• Now type in the library to be installed, in your example Pandas, and click Install Package.
• Wait for the installation to terminate and close all popup windows.
