zsh command cannot found pip

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
Solution

  • 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.
