install pip 3.6

Postby ErnestTBass » Tue Apr 02, 2019 3:46 am

I am trying to install the latest version of pip-pip3.6. I already have python 3.6 installed. When I do I get the following error. I am not sure what they mean:

python3.6 -m pip install
You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Of course, I am referring to the first two lines of the error. However, when i do I get this error. How do I fix it? Again this is pip 3.6.

Respectfully,

The command is incomplete. pip is a tool to install site-packages. You need to tell pip what it should install:
python3.6 -m pip install <package to install>

If you want to upgrade pip, run the following command:
python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade pip

There are multiple ways:
pip install <package to install>
pip3 install <package to install>
pip3.6 install <package to install>
python3.6 -m pip install <package to install>
