I installed alernative version of python (3.8.10) from source, i needed it to use in virtual environment. But when i use pip3

/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip3 

it says

/usr/local/bin/python3: No module named pip3

also

/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip #works perfectly fine

same goes with /usr/local/bin/python3.8

how to fix it? (btw, just using pip3 from console works fine)

CodePudding user response：

It's either

pip3 install packages

because the script is named pip3; or

/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip install packages

as the package to run with python -m is called pip. But not both, so it's not

python3 -m pip3 install packages

as there is no package pip3.

Also try

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install

If it's what you want put /usr/local/bin/ in front of your $PATH and you can run the script with just pip3.

CodePudding user response：

You can try with this only inside your virtualenv.

pip install package_name
