TLDR  pip found in your path a is a symlink and the referenced location no longer contains the executable  You need to update the symlink  It helps to understand a couple of things   When you type something like python or pip you os will search  etc paths to try to find the associated executable for that command  You can see everything in there by using cat  etc paths  To determine the location of the executable that your shell will use there is a handy command which  you can type which python or which pip  This will tell you the location of the executable that your shell will use for that command  This part is key  The location may or may not be an actual executable  it could be a symbolic link  symlink   Its common for  etc paths to contain  usr local bin  its also common for  usr local bin to be a bunch of symlinks to the actual executables  Not the executables themselves  If the executable at the symlinks referenced location doesn t exist you will get an error like bad interpreter  No such file or directory   With that being said the problem is likely that pip is a symlink and the linked executable probably doesn t exist at that location anymore  To fix it do the following  Find the location of the executable - which pip  gives something like this  usr local bin pip  Check the symlink reference location ls -l  usr local bin pip   grep pip  give something like this pip - gt   usr local opt python 3 7 bin pip3  Check if the executable exists at the referenced location ls  usr local opt python 3 7 bin pip3  you are having this issue so it probably doesn t   Remove the old symlink rm -r  usr local bin pip Find the actual pip executable if using homebrew it will be in  usr local opt you can use something like ls  usr local opt    grep python to find it  Add the right symlink for the pip  executable  ln -s  usr local opt python 3 7 bin pip3  usr local bin pip

You could have two different versions of Python and pip  Try to  pip2 install --upgrade pip and then pip2 install -r requirements txt Or pip3 if you are on newer Python version

All you need to do is    close the terminal window and reopen new one to fix this issue   The issue is  new python path is not added to bashrc Either source or new terminal window would help

I m guessing you have two python installs  or two pip installs  one of which has been partially removed   Why do you use sudo  Ideally you should be able to install and run everything from your user account instead of using root  If you mix root and your local account together you are more likely to run into permissions issues  e g  see the warning it gives about  parent directory is not owned by the current user     What do you get if you run this     head -n1  usr local bin pip   This will show you which python binary pip is trying to use  If it s pointing  usr local opt python bin python2 7  then try running this     ls -al  usr local opt python bin python2 7   If this says  No such file or directory   then pip is trying to use a python binary that has been removed   Next  try this     which python   which python2 7   To see the path of the python binary that s actually working   Since it looks like pip was successfully installed somewhere  it could be that  usr local bin pip is part of an older installation of pip that s higher up on the PATH  To test that  you may try moving the non-functioning pip binary out of the way like this  might require sudo      mv  usr local bin pip  usr local bin pip old   Then try running your pip --version command again  Hopefully it picks up the correct version and runs successfully

Fixing pip For this error    Library Python 2 7 bin pip   usr local opt python bin python2 7  bad interpreter  No such file or directory   The source of this problem is a bad python path hardcoded in pip  which means it won t be fixed by e g  changing your  PATH   That path is no longer hardcoded in the lastest version of pip  so a solution which should work is  pip install --upgrade pip  But of course  this command uses pip  so it fails with the same error  The way to bootstrap yourself out of this mess   Run which pip Open that file in a text editor Change the first line from    usr local opt python bin python2 7 to e g     usr local opt python2 bin python2 7  note the python2 in the path   or any path to a working python interpreter on your machine  Now  pip install --upgrade pip  this overwrites your hack and gets pip working at the latest version  where the interpreter issue should be fixed   Fixing virtualenv For me  I found this issue by first having the identical issue from virtualenv    Library Python 2 7 bin virtualenv   usr local opt python bin python2 7  bad interpreter  No such file or directory   The solution here is to run pip uninstall virtualenv pip install virtualenv  If running that command gives the same error from pip  see above
