Unable to install pip3 and easy_install on Ubuntu 18.04

My fresh Ubuntu 18.04 does not have pip3 installed and following multiple questions, I could only install it using easy_install3. However, easy_install3 is not available and instructions to install it are using pip3. I am in a deadlock now. My attempts:

  1. sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools which is successful

  2. sudo easy_install3 pip: sudo: easy_install3: command not found

Solution

  • Try for python3 pip 

    sudo apt-get install python3-pip

    for python 2.x pip

    sudo apt-get install python-pip
