Unable to locate package python-pip

Question

I am running Debian 9 and I want to install python pip but there is an error:

E: Unable to locate package python-pip

I've tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get python-pip, but I am still getting that error.

Solution

The command to install software with apt is

sudo apt-get install python-pip

You missed the install command to apt-get.

Missing install should print E: Invalid operation python-pip error.
