zsh command cannot found pip

How can I use pip in oh-my-zsh? I was trying to install nltk through pip, but it told me zsh: command not found: pip. When I check plugins under .oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins, there is a folder named pip. I don't know what the problem is.

Edit: 

$ echo $PATH
/home/xxx/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/xxx/bin:/home/xxx/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

$ type pip
pip is an alias for noglob pip

So you are using oh-my-zsh framework for zsh or Z shell. First, try the command:

pip3 -V

If you get something like this below, that means you have the pip3 package already and must be having python3 as well.

pip 22.0.4 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

Then edit your .zprofile instead of .bashprofile as you are using zsh. This is the command.

nano ~/.zprofile

Then it should have the two alias like this.

# Setting PATH for Python 3.10
# The original version is saved in .zprofile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

alias python=python3
alias pip=pip3

Make sure you save it. Exit and Re-open you terminal. Type the command:

pip -V

It should have the same result as the pip3 -V like this:

❯ pip -V
pip 22.0.4 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

Then you can use pip or pip3 interchangeably for installing your nltk package like this.

pip install nltk

In my case my OS was Ubuntu 20.04 and the pip doesn't come with python.

So, i've installed pip through the command

sudo apt install python3-pip

and I'm done.

To ensure run pip -V or pip3 -V

If you installed python3.x, you should run with pip3(not pip)

You should consider upgrading.

Enter this in your terminal

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3.10 -m pip install --upgrade pip

and then...

Type: pip -V

In case you do

which pip

and it doesn't show the path, just do

which pip3

This will print the path which is /usr/local/bin/pip3 Then do open ~/.zshrc or nano ~/.bash_profile.

Make alias for pip like:

alias pip=/usr/local/bin/pip3

N.B: You copy that line above and paste in your .zshrc file.

After do source ~/.zshrc and close .zshrc

If you're running into this issue, it probably is due to versioning complications. Python 2 versus Python 3 on your OS may be resolving unexpectedly. Below is a quick workaround to get you to functioning behavior.

Try using the below for Python 2: python -m pip install <command>

Try using the below for Python 3: pip3 install <command>

I'm on MacOS and use ZSH. It seems pip 2.7 can't be found, although it is installed. I believe my paths to "pip" are linked wrong (I also have python3 and pip3 installed via brew).

To get around the issue I created an alias. If you don't have an .aliases file, create one in your homedir. Then open the file:

nano ~/.aliases

and add:

## PIP for python2.7 ##
alias pip="python -m pip "

You need to tell ZSH to pick up the alias file (assuming you don't have this setup already). Open your .zshrc:

nano ~/.zshrc

The add the following near the bottom of the file:

[ -f "$HOME/.aliases" ] && source "$HOME/.aliases"

From the terminal, run:

source ~/.zshrc

Or quit your terminal and reopen it.

Now you can run:

pip install <command>

For me it's working to do 

python -m pip install [package_name]

instead of

pip install [package_name]

Maybe you have installed both python2 and python3. python3 may have been installed later.

You may try to use pip3 instead of pip.

First, input the command:

pip3 -V

If you see the version, the pip3 can be used.

Then you can input command line to install nltk:

pip3 install nltk

I got a way to help you use pip in zsh. We can use nano to edit files. In nano, ctrl+X to save and exit

In the ~ directory, input the command:

nano .bash_profile

You may see some codes like:

# Setting PATH for Python 3.5
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

Copy them and paste them to the end of .zshrc file by using command:

nano .zshrc

Then input the command: 

pip -V

If you see the version, pip can be used.

Edit your rc file:

vim ~/.zshrc

Find the config plugins and delete the pip entry.

In a new terminal:

which pip

This will show you the real path of pip
