I downloaded Python 3.5.1 however it didn't install pip3. In my terminal I checked to see if I had pip. I do not.

Im watching "Setting Up a Local Python Environment Mac" I opened my Terminal and ran Python 3.5.1 however Pip3 want installed with Python 3.5.1 I checked in my terminal to see if I had any version of Pip with pip --version and it gave me this error message: -bash: pip: command not found

Please advise. Thanks.

I just downloaded Python 3.6 from python.org and the latest version of pip was included (you can see in the video at 2:02 when Kenneth gets to the custom install screen that his 3.5 download also included a pip installation or upgrade).

Make sure you exit() out of the python shell before typing pip3 --version (otherwise you get an error).

Try "pip-3.5" in terminal. Otherwise make sure it's installed, install with "sudo easy_install pip".
