zsh command cannot found pip

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

For me it's working to do

python -m pip install [package_name]

instead of

pip install [package_name]
