When “easy_install –user pip” doesn’t work, do the following:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

python get-pip.py –user

Also add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:

For bash shell:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

or

For cshrc shell:

setenv  PATH  ${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}

Now you can install any package locally by:

pip install –user PackageName
