pip for Python Installation issues

Question

When I go to install pip for python 2.7. I click on the get pip link, and the site loads a bootstrap pip site explaining the binary data instead of a downloadable site. When I try to download it from the site by entering python get-pip.py in my powershell, I get [Errno 2] No such file or directory in my power shell. I have tried using cmd as an administrator and entering python get-pip.py but still the same [Errno 2]. Is there another way?

Answer 1

Here is the link for convenience: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

Create a file on your computer called get-pip.py and copy the contents of the above link to that file and then run it using python get-pip.py.

That will install pip on your computer.
