I have a board which is powered by the Linux kernel. The board is of the aarch64/armv8 architecture. The board does not have apt-get, but it has easy_install. I tried to install using easy_install, but I got the following error (as root):

cd ~
easy3_install pip

Output:

Searching for pip
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
No local packages or working download links found for pip
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip')

And:

cd ~
easy3_install --version

Output:

setuptools 36.2.7 from /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages (Python 3.5)

What are ways to install pip on this platform?

If it is possible with easy_install, what steps should I follow to get rid of this error?

If not, shall I get cross compiled pip binaries for this architecture or is any Yocto build available?

If easy_install pip doesn’t work, you can try to build the source.

See python-pip 23.1.2-1 → Download.

  • I tried accessing source, https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/python-pip/files, it shows an error! – Pushpa Sep 11 '18 at 13:52
  • Oh, thats strange. Try to click on "Download", instead of "Source". I guess, the source is inside the tar file. – carapaece Sep 11 '18 at 14:04
  • Yes, I downloaded the binary, and I found the binary is compiled for python3.7, my machine has python3.5. Will it make any difference if I copy these binaries to python3.5? – Pushpa Sep 11 '18 at 14:30
  • You can just try it. If necessary, you have to adjust your python version – carapaece Sep 11 '18 at 15:01
