Whenever I attempt to install pip in my terminal, I get the following:

error: Not a recognized archive type: pip

I've been following the guide in this link and after entering python get-pip.py, the above mentioned appears. I've searched Google and I noticed others are having installation issues but with different messages. Mine says not a recognized archive type while another would say for example 'command not found'.

Any known reason for this?

    Is there a reason why you are trying to install ``pip`` yourself? The system Python and versions installed by common package managers (e.g. brew) already ship with ``pip``. Also, please [edit] your question to show the exact command you are running, as well as the entire traceback. – MisterMiyagi Jun 06 '20 at 16:10
  • He seems to have used `easy_install`, because the error is on `setuptools` source, here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/dabd73137f97145cc95c114937c95b217ac76876/setuptools/archive_util.py#L60 – Niloct Jun 06 '20 at 17:21
