Cygwin terminal is only recognizing `pip3 install` rather than `pip2 install`

I need to install the python future module to compile a code using ./waf command, and I'm doing this using the Cygwin 64 terminal. However, due to incompatibility issues I keep getting future module not found though it is already installed. I'm trying to re-install the module using pip2 install command, and the following error occurred:

Gover@LAPTOP-OV3886CH /cygdrive/d/ardupilot
$ pip2 install future
-bash: pip2: command not found

However, I can install the future module using pip3 install , but this is still not compatible with the ./waf command. Why is pip2 install not working?

Solution

  • Install python27-pip and python27packages

    see package contents on https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/python27-pip/python27-pip-20.3.3-2
