How to install pip in CentOS 7?

Question

CentOS 7 EPEL now includes Python 3.4: yum install python34

However, when I try that, even though Python 3.4 installs successfully, it doesn't appear to install pip. Which is weird, because pip should be included by default with Python 3.4. which pip3 doesn't find anything, nor does which pip.

How do I access pip from the Python 3.4 package in CentOS 7 EPEL release?

Answer 1

The easiest way I've found to install pip3 (for python3.x packages) on CentOS 7 is:

$ sudo yum install python34-setuptools $ sudo easy_install-3.4 pip 

You'll need to have the EPEL repository enabled before hand, of course.

You should now be able to run commands like the following to install packages for python3.x:

$ pip3 install foo 

Answer 2

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.4 

Or if you don't have curl for some reason:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py python3.4 get-pip.py 

After this you should be able to run

$ pip3
