I am trying to install python-pip on CentOS 7 minimal server. However, I got the error No package python-pip available. Below is the complete error message.
# yum install python-pip Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.vhost.vn * centos-ceph-nautilus: mirrors.vhost.vn * centos-nfs-ganesha28: mirrors.vhost.vn * centos-qemu-ev: mirrors.vhost.vn * extras: mirrors.vhost.vn * updates: mirrors.vhost.vn No package python-pip available. Error: Nothing to do
Solution: The CentOS 7 minimal server installation doesn’t include the EPEL repository by default. Firstly install EPEL repository and enable it.
How to solve “No package python-pip available” during yum installation
Step 1: Install EPEL repository
# yum -y install epel-release
[OR]
Download the EPEL repository rpm file from fedora project as below:
# wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Install from the downloaded EPEL repo rpm file
# yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpmStep 2: Now you can install python-pip as below:
# yum install -y --enablerepo="epel" python-pip
Starting from EPEL version 7, python-pip is renamed to identify the python version such as python2-pip, python3-pip, python34-pip etc., By default python-pip on CentOS 7 is python2-pip. Use the below yum command to find the different versions of pip available for different python versions.
