This post describes how you can install Python Pip on ubuntu 18.04.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why apt doesn’t work immediately<\/h2>\n

By default the server edition of Ubuntu only includes the main repository for the Ubuntu software. This is for various performance and security reasons but means that there are a number of packages that don’t\u00a0fit into this realm.<\/p>\n

To be able to install pip you will need to configure an additional set of repositories to download it.<\/p>\n

Configuring the Universe repositories<\/h2>\n

As an administrator\u00a0or by using sudo you will need to edit \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/code>. This will allow for the list of apt sources to be configured. For example you can run the below command to edit the file.<\/p>\n

sudo nano <\/span>\/<\/span>etc<\/span>\/<\/span>apt<\/span>\/<\/span>sources<\/span>.<\/span>list<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n
If this is a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 server this file will likely contain the following lines.<\/p>\n
deb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic main\r\ndeb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic<\/span>-<\/span>security main\r\ndeb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic<\/span>-<\/span>updates main<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n
To add the universe repositories you need to add universe<\/code> to the end of each line. Your modified file should look like the following.<\/p>\n
deb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic main universe\r\ndeb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic<\/span>-<\/span>security main universe \r\ndeb http<\/span>:\/\/<\/span>archive<\/span>.<\/span>ubuntu<\/span>.<\/span>com<\/span>\/<\/span>ubuntu bionic<\/span>-<\/span>updates main universe<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n
Once this has been done, save the file using Ctrl-O<\/code> if you are using Nano.<\/p>\n
Now you can update apt, and then install python-pip.<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install python-pip<\/pre>\n
In addition to pip, this will allow installation of many other packages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
