pip is a replacement for easy_install. But should I install pip using easy_install on Windows? Is there a better way?

pip is already installed if you are using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 downloaded from python.org or if you are working in a Virtual Environment created by virtualenv. Just make sure to upgrade pip.

Step 1: Download the get.py file to your local drive.

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

This will download the get.py file to your local drive

Step 2: Run the 

python get-pip.py

All done! Good to go!

Official instructions

Per https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#do-i-need-to-install-pip:

Download get-pip.py, being careful to save it as a .py file rather than .txt. Then, run it from the command prompt:

python get-pip.py

This installs the pip package, which (in Windows) contains ...\Scripts\pip.exe that path must be in PATH environment variable to use pip from the command line (see the second part of 'Alternative Instructions' for adding it to your PATH,

installers for all Python versions, both 32 and 64 bit. You need to:

  1. Install setuptools

  2. Install pip
