/usr/bin/python: No module named pip under mac / install python package in mac

Question

I'm trying to use python with visual code under mac computer

I have this error message :

/usr/bin/python -m pip install pylint
user:~ user$ /usr/bin/python -m pip install pylint
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

I have find some help and try this :

user:~ user$ easy_install pip
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-19813.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

I don't uderstand why I have this :

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-19813.pth'

as I have put this line in my bash_profile

# Setting PATH for Python 3.6
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

How can I install library and use python with my mac ? (Usually I use Linux system in my work place but now I am on my personal computer...)

Answer 1

You need to run your easy_install command with sudo privileges if you want to write to /Library

Try running the following command:

sudo easy_install pip

and then enter your password

Answer 2

Download get-pip.py from below link get-pip.py

And download pip as

python get-pip.py

After that you can install modules using pip install modulename
