An alternative is to call the pip module by using python2 7  as below   python2 7 -m pip  lt commands gt    For example  you could run python2 7 -m pip install  lt package gt  to install your favorite python modules  Here is a reference  https   stackoverflow com a 50017310 4256346   In case the pip module has not yet been installed for this version of python  you can run the following   python2 7 -m ensurepip   Running this command will  bootstrap the pip installer   Note that running this may require administrative privileges  i e  sudo   Here is a reference  https   docs python org 2 7 library ensurepip html and another reference https   stackoverflow com a 46631019 4256346

There should be a binary called  pip2 7  installed at some location included within your  PATH variable   You can find that out by typing  which pip2 7   This should print something like   usr local bin pip2 7  to your stdout  If it does not print anything like this  it is not installed  In that case  install it by running    wget https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   sudo python2 7 get-pip py   Now  you should be all set  and  which pip2 7   should return the correct output
