How to Install pip in OL7 to Enable Python Modules Installation
in Linux
Applies To:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later
Goal:
Need to install pip to install additional python modules in OL7.
Solution:
In Oracle Linux 7 OCI instances, the pip module is not installed by default. pip is installed by executing the command:
# yum list python2-pip python3-pip Loaded plugins: langpacks, osmsplugin, ulninfo This system is receiving updates from OSMS. Installed Packages python3-pip.noarch 9.0.3-8.0.1.el7 @ol7_latest Available Packages python2-pip.noarch 8.1.2-14.el7 ol7_developer_epel-x86_64 # # yum install python2-pip ## for Python2 environment OR # yum install python3-pip ## for Python3 environment
For python2-pip, it needs the EPEL repository enabled. EPEL is normally an enabled software source for OSMS, so it should be enabled already. If it is not enabled already, then manually go into OCI UI/Console to edit the OSMS software sources, or just manually edit and save
