Installing pip/setuptools/wheel with Linux Package Managers¶

This section covers how to install pip , setuptools , and wheel using Linux package managers.

If you’re using a Python that was downloaded from python.org, then this section does not apply. See the Requirements for Installing Packages section instead.

Note that it’s common for the versions of pip , setuptools , and wheel supported by a specific Linux Distribution to be outdated by the time it’s released to the public, and updates generally only occur for security reasons, not for feature updates. For certain Distributions, there are additional repositories that can be enabled to provide newer versions. The repositories we know about are explained below.

Also note that it’s somewhat common for Distributions to apply patches for the sake of security and normalization to their own standards. In some cases, this can lead to bugs or unexpected behaviors that vary from the original unpatched versions. When this is known, we will make note of it below.

Fedora¶

sudo dnf install python3-pip python3-wheel

To learn more about Python in Fedora, please visit the official Fedora docs, Python Classroom or Fedora Loves Python.

CentOS/RHEL¶

CentOS and RHEL don’t offer pip or wheel in their core repositories, although setuptools is installed by default.

To install pip and wheel for the system Python, there are two options:

Enable the EPEL repository using these instructions. On EPEL 7, you can install pip and wheel like so:

sudo dnf install python3-pip python3-wheel

sudo dnf install python3-pip python3-wheel

sudo dnf upgrade python3-setuptools

To install pip, wheel, and setuptools, in a parallel, non-system environment (using yum) then there are two options:

1. Use the “Software Collections” feature to enable a parallel collection that includes pip, setuptools, and wheel.
   • For Redhat, see here: https://developers.redhat.com/products/softwarecollections/overview
   • For CentOS, see here: https://github.com/sclorg

Be aware that collections may not contain the most recent versions.

sudo yum install python34u python34u-wheel

openSUSE¶

sudo zypper install python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel

Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives¶

Firstly, update and refresh repository lists by running this command:

sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip

Recent Debian/Ubuntu versions have modified pip to use the “User Scheme” by default, which is a significant behavior change that can be surprising to some users.

Arch Linux¶

Currently, there is no “copr” yum plugin available for CentOS/RHEL, so the only option is to manually place the repo files as described.

  General-purpose, high-level programming language supporting multiple programming paradigms.

  Using pip

  If a Python package you need is not packaged for Fedora, or if you need it in an isolated environment, you can use pip to install it from the Python Package Index (PyPI).

  Note that software on PyPI is not part of Fedora, and has different standards of quality, security and licensing: essentially, anyone can upload code there. Only install software you trust, and always double-check install commands for typos in package names.

  You can either install such modules to a virtual environment, or to your home directory with the —user user switch. See below for both options.

  Installing modules with pip to system directories is not recommended, as it can override system libraries and lead to an unstable system.

  Using pip in the virtual environment

  The best practise is using pip in the virtual environment. It will keep all modules for one project at one place and it will not break your local system. Another advantage is that you can have more versions of the same module in different virtual environments.

  Let’s create a virtual environment called project_venv with the main Python 3 version in Fedora. If you need to use another version of Python or a different interpreter such as PyPy, see the Multiple Interpreters section.

  $ python3 -m venv project_venv 

  If you want to work in the virtual environment, you have to activate it.

  $ source project_venv/bin/activate 

  When the virtual environment is activated (you can see it’s name in brackets at the beginning of your prompt), you can install modules with pip. For example, if your project needs the requests library, run:

  (project_venv) $ python -m pip install requests 

  When you finish your work, just deactivate the virtual environment.

  The environment is a directory. If you no longer need it, deactivate it and delete it with rm -rv project_venv .

  User-specific installation

  Sometimes, you don’t want to use a virtual environment. For example, you’re installing a tool you will use in multiple projects, but the tool is not available in Fedora repositories. In such cases, you might need to install pip if you do not already have it system-wide:

  $ sudo dnf install python3-pip 

  Then, use pip’s —user option. For example, to install a Python implementation of cowsay (rather than the original Perl one available in Fedora), run:

  $ python -m pip install --user cowsay 

  Updating packages

  Since software installed using pip is not part of Fedora, it is your responsibility to keep it updated as needed. However you ran pip install , running it again with —update will update to the latest release. For example, to update the requests library:

  (project_venv) $ python -m pip install --update requests

  Python in Fedora

  Python is a widely used, interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. It is simple and easy to learn. Python 3 is already pre-installed on Fedora. Let’s use it!

  Running Python

  1. Open your terminal. (In GNOME, press Alt + F1 , type Terminal and press Enter .)
  2. To run Python, type python Enter . You should see something like this:

  Python 3.9.0 (default, Oct 6 2020, 00:00:00) [GCC 10.2.1 20201005 (Red Hat 10.2.1-5)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 

  Now you can start to write in Python! Let’s print Hello World!

  If you want to exit Python, press Ctrl + D .

  To run a program written in Python, type python followed by the file name of the program. Like this:

  In some guides, you will see python3 used instead of python . These commands are equivalent. You can also run a more specific version of Python, like python3.9 , if you have that interpreter installed. See the Multiple Interpreters section for details.

  Python packages

  Fedora contains many popular packages for Python. Usually, they are named with a python3- prefix, such as python3-requests .

  These are useful for scripting and exploring Python and for Fedora-specific applications. For software development or reproducible data analysis, it is better to use virtual environments.

  Using virtual environments

  When you work on a project, it is good to keep it inside a virtual environment. It will keep the dependencies you need in one place and you do not have to worry about different projects which need different versions of the same module. It also makes it easy to collaborate with people who don’t use Fedora yet.

  Let’s create a virtual environment called project_venv which will contain Python and pip. You can use pip to install a project’s dependencies.

  $ python -m venv project_venv 

  If you want to work in the virtual environment, you have to activate it.

  $ source project_venv/bin/activate 

  When the virtual environment is activated (you can see its name in brackets at the beginning of your prompt), you can install modules via pip install .

  (project_venv) $ python -m pip install requests 

  That is all, you have successfully created your own virtual environment. Now you can run Python (see above) and start working on your project.

  When you finish your work, you can deactivate the virtual environment.

  Note that packages installed system-wide are not available in the virtual environments: by default, virtual environments are isolated from the system. As an alternative, you can create the environment with —system-site-packages – but note that when you update your Fedora packages, they may get out of sync with modules installed inside the environment.
