Hi there,

Try this https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html

python get-pip.py If setuptools (or distribute) is not already installed, get-pip.py will install setuptools for you. [3]

To upgrade an existing setuptools (or distribute), run pip install -U setuptools. [4]

Additionally, get-pip.py supports using the pip install options and the general options. Below are some examples:

Install from local copies of pip and setuptools:

python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=/local/copies Install to the user site [5]:

python get-pip.py --user Install behind a proxy:

python get-pip.py --proxy="[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port"
