Appendix

Installing pip

If installing Python did not add the pip.exe to python’s scripts path, install pip using get-pip/get-pip.py · pypa/get-pip (github.com):

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

Upon execution, get-pip.py will install pip, setuptools and wheel in the current Python environment.

It is possible to provide additional arguments to the underlying script. These are passed through to the underlying pip install command, and can thus be used to constraint the versions of the packages, or to pass other pip options such as --no-index.

python get-pip.py "pip < 21.0" "setuptools < 50.0" "wheel < 1.0"
python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=/local/copies

get-pip.py options

This script also has it’s own options, which control which packages it will install.

• --no-setuptools: do not attempt to install setuptools.
• --no-wheel: do not attempt to install wheel.
