How do I install pip on macOS or OS X

Question

I spent most of the day yesterday searching for a clear answer for installing pip (package manager for Python). I can't find a good solution.

How do I install it?

Answer 1

All you have to do is:

sudo easy_install pip

macOS comes with python installed. But to make sure that you have python installed open the terminal and run the following command.

python --version

If this command returns a version number that means python exists. Which also means that you already have access to easy_install considering you are using macOS/OSX
