  Here's a small digest, created with Python:

|Many if not most Linux distributions do not include pip by default.
....
|On systems based on Debian, you can install  pip with:
|sudo apt install python3- pip
|On others, you will have to look around in the package manager or search
|on line.

|Also make sure you're using a  pip that matches your Python.
|It's usuallysafer if you invoke it as:
|python -m pip install --upgrade pip
|(or whatever the precise name of your Python 2 interpreter actually is)
