"E: Unable to Locate Package Python-Pip" on Ubuntu 18.04 [Duplicate]

ls /bin/python*

Identify the highest version of python listed. If the highest version is something like python2.7 then install python2-pip If its something like python3.8 then install python3-pip

Example for python3.8:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Try the following commands in terminal, this will work better:

apt-get install curl

curl  -o get-pip.py

python get-pip.py

On some kind of Linux, like distros based on Debian, you might want to consider updating your 'apt-get' first, in case you are installing python-pip through it.

sudo apt-get update

This might help apt-get to update its indexes and locate the python-pip package. After this, u might install it like this-

sudo apt-get install python-pip (Python2)
sudo apt-get install python3-pip (Python3)

You might have python 3 pip installed already. Instead of pip install you can use pip3 install.

To solve the problem of:

E: Unable to locate package python-pip

you should do this. This works with the python2.7 and you not going to get disappointed by it. follow the steps that are mention below. go to get-pip.py and copy all the code from it.
open the terminal using CTRL + ALT +T

vi get-pip.py

paste the copied code here and then exit from the vi editor by pressing

ESC then :wq => press Enter

lastly, now run the code and see the magic

sudo python get-pip.py

It automatically adds the pip command in your Linux.
you can see the output of my machine

I'm using WSL2 on Windows 10 and I had the same issue. Try the way which helped me to fix this. I assume that you are using python3.

python3 get-pip.py
sudo apt install python3-pip
