python3-pip installed, but returns "command not found"?
<p>There are a few other posts I've found that address my question but none of them solve my problem so I'm creating this post.</p>

<p>I'm trying to install rpi.gpio for my Raspberry Pi B+.  I installed python3-pip, but every time I try to call it from the command line with pip3 I get "command not found".  I uninstalled it with:</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get remove python3-pip
</code></pre>

<p>then reinstalled</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get install python3-pip
</code></pre>

<p>and got the following:</p>

<pre><code>Reading package lists... Done

<p>But when I try to do:</p>

<pre><code>sudo pip3 install rpi.gpio
</code></pre>

<p>I get:</p>

<pre><code>sudo: pip3: command not found
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried suggestions from this site and others to see if pip is installed and where to locate it, but I always get "command not found":</p>

<pre><code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $ locate pip3
bash: locate: command not found
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ pip --version
bash: pip: command not found
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ python3-pip --version
bash: python3-pip: command not found
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ python3.2-pip --version
bash: python3.2-pip: command not found
</code></pre>

<p>How can I get pip to install???  This is driving me nuts....</p>

<p>You can always use <code>python3 -m pip</code> (possibly with <code>sudo</code>) if the library is available - like installed to the right place. This does not depend on pip being installed as a normal command which is just a shortcut for this.</p>
