PIP is typically installed from the EPEL repository, thus you will first want to ensure EPEL is installed.

AVOID TROUBLE

There are 3 versions of pip

• pip is used for Python version 2.6 and below
• pip2 is used for Python version 2.7 and above
• pip3 is used for Python version 3

For example, the /usr/bin/pip command (or just pip) would be used for Python version 2.6 and below.

The yum list installed command can be used to determine if PIP is installed.

yum list installed | grep -i pip

If PIP is already installed, something like this should be returned.

python2-pip.noarch  8.1.2-12.el7  @epel

If PIP is not installed, the yum install command can be used to install PIP.

yum install python-pip
