Solution 1

In some distribution easy_install not come with the default python.

So, you to download it and install.

#wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
#python ez_setup.py

After installing the ez_setup.py, you can find the easy_install, using that you can install pip module as follow.

#easy_install pip

Solution 2

Both setuptools (python-setuptools) and pip (python-pip) are in EPEL.

For the less obvious things of those I will leave a note in the edit, click on the date to see this. I will only edit content in posts once, and let the author or other users be free to choose to rollback; when there are opposing views, we can raise this to meta to let the majority decide which revision of the post they want. This will be done with respect of the original author and when I'm sure enough that it would only improve the post. Have a nice day! :)

I am trying to install pip for python on CentOS 6. I thought of installing it through easy_install but it is not there. I tried to find easy_install with find command, but no luck. I tried to re-install python with yum and still not able to find easy_install.
