It says:

Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Wameedhs-MacBook-Air:~ wameedh$ pip install requests

Still I am getting this:

-bash: pip: command not found

Answer 1

This error also comes up when using the -i flag to specify your own resource location (ex: an Artifactory instance) and the path specified is incorrect. Verify the artifactory location by copy-pasting it as a url in the browser.

Answer 2

Thanks all for the help. I fixed it! The problem was I didn't have the latest version of Xcode! I ran xcode-select --install before installing pip! that's it!!
