Python PIP

PIP (Python Package Index) is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python.

It simplifies the process of installing and managing dependencies for Python projects.

For most modern distributions of Python 3, PIP comes pre-installed. You can check if it's installed by opening a command prompt (or terminal on macOS/Linux) and typing:

pip --version

If PIP is installed, it will display the version number. If not, you may need to install it manually.

To install pip on Windows, download and install from https://pypi.org/project/pip/

• Use the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

• Then, install PIP using Python:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

• Installing a Package:

pip install package_name


• Installing a Specific Version of a Package:

pip install package_name==version_number


• Upgrading a Package:

pip install --upgrade package_name


• Uninstalling a Package:

pip uninstall package_name


• Listing Installed Packages:
