The port tool is supposed to download and install tcl when I install pip. However, in my case, port took forever to download tcl. So I had to intall tcl separately before installing pip, just to make the dependents resolved.

In an effort to avoid mistakenly Pip-installing a project-specific package into my global site-packages, I previously used easy_install for global packages and the virtualenv-bundled Pip for installing packages into virtual environments. Even if you are not into Python there comes a time when you end up with the need of having to install pip on your macOS or OSX based computer. Searching online would lead you to long tutorials which are not really what you need. Recently I had to install Python on Windows 10, so I could use the “Closure Linter” tool for PhpStorm. Here is a simple guide to show you exactly how to install Python and PIP on your Windows 10 machine. Pip can install from either Source Distributions (sdist) or Wheels, but if both are present on PyPI, pip will prefer a compatible wheel. Wheels are a pre-built distribution format that provides faster installation compared to Source Distributions (sdist), especially when a project contains compiled extensions. Pip (recursive acronym for “Pip Installs Packages” or “Pip Installs Python“) is a cross-platform package manager for installing and managing Python packages (which can be found in the Python Package Index (PyPI)) that comes with Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 binaries that are downloaded from python.org.
I spent most of the day yesterday searching for a clear answer for installing
pip (package manager for Python). I can't find a good solution.
How do I install it?

If you need admin privileges to run this, try:
UPDATE (Jan 2019):
easy_install has been deprecated. Please use get-pip.py instead.

⚡️ TL;DR — One line solution.
All you have to do is:
2019: ⚠️
easy_install has been deprecated. Check Method #2 below for preferred installation!
I made a gif, coz. why not?
Details:
⚡️ OK, I read the solutions given above, but here's an EASY solution to install
pip .
MacOS comes with
Python installed. But to make sure that you have Python installed open the terminal and run the following command.
If this command returns a version number that means
Python exists. Which also means that you already have access to easy_install considering you are using macOS/OSX .
ℹ️ Now, all you have to do is run the following command.
After that,
pip will be installed and you'll be able to use it for installing other packages.
Let me know if you have any problems installing
pip this way.
Cheers!
P.S. I ended up blogging a post about it. QuickTip: How Do I Install pip on macOS or OS X?
✅ UPDATE (Jan 2019): METHOD #2: Two line solution --
easy_install has been deprecated. Please use get-pip.py instead.
First of all download the
get-pip file
Now run this file to install
pip
That should do it.

You can install it through Homebrew on OS X. Why would you install Python with Homebrew?
The version of Python that ships with OS X is great for learning but it’s not good for development. The version shipped with OS X may be out of date from the official current Python release, which is considered the stable production version. (source)
Homebrew is something of a package manager for OS X. Find more details on the Homebrew page. Once Homebrew is installed, run the following to install the latest Python, Pip & Setuptools:

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this - since 2013, python itself is capable of installing
pip , no external commands (and no internet connection) required.
This will create a similar install to what felixphewfelixphew
easy_install would.

pip is available on OS X via easy_install .Open a terminal and type:
When prompted for a password enter your normal login password.
After the installation has completed you should be able to use pip as expected.
note: this works for other python packages too

The simplest solution is to follow the installation instruction from pip's home site.
Basically, this consists in:
The main advantage of that solution is that it install pip for the python version that has been used to run
get-pip.py , which means that if you use the default OS X installation of python to run get-pip.py you will install pip for the python install from the system.
Most solutions that use a package manager (homebrew or macport) on OS X create a redundant installation of python in the environment of the package manager which can create inconsistencies in your system since, depending on what you are doing, you may call one installation of python instead of another.

NEW 2016 December: This worked for me on OS X v10.11 (El Capitan):
Mac comes with
python 2 , but not with pip.

Steps:
With this I got these errors (but I've solved them in step 3):
The directory
'/Users/myuser/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag .

UPDATE:
Python 3
If you install
python 3 , pip will be installed automatically.
You need only to upgrade pip, but before that you need create a virtual environment to work with Python 3. You can use a project folder or any folder:
Check the versions:

Installing a separate copy of Python is a popular option, even though Python already comes with MacOS. You take on the responsibility to make sure you're using the copy of Python you intend. But, the benefits are having the latest Python release and some protection from hosing your system if things go badly wrong.
To install Python using HomeBrew:
Now confirm that we're working with our newly installed Python:
..should show a symbolic link to a path with 'Cellar' in it like:
Pip should be installed along with Python. You might want to upgrade it by typing:
Now you're ready to install any of the 50,000+ packages on PyPI.
Other Notes
Formerly, I've used get-pip.py to install pip. But, the docs warn that get-pip.py does not coordinate with package managers and may leave your system in an inconsistent state. Anyway, there's no need, given that pip is now included with Python as of 2.7.9.
Note that pip isn't the only package manager for Python. There's also easy_install. It's no good to mix the two, so don't do it.
Flash player download for mac free. Finally, if you have both Python 2 and 3 installed, pip will point to whichever Python you installed last. Get in the habit of explicitly using either pip2 or pip3, so you're sure which Python is getting the new library.
Happy hacking!

On the recent version (from Yosemite or El Capitan I believe.. at least from Sierra onward), you need to run
brew postinstall python3 after brew install python3 if you use homebrew.
So,
UPDATED - Homebrew version after 1.5
According to the official Homebrew page:
On 1st March 2018 the python formula will be upgraded to Python 3.x and a python@2 formula will be added for installing Python 2.7 (although this will be keg-only so neither python nor python2 will be added to the PATH by default without a manual brew link --force). We will maintain python2, python3 and python@3 aliases.
So to install Python 3, run the following command:

pip is installed automatically, and you can install any package by pip install <package> .

Then brew install Python
Then
pip will work

To install or upgrade pip, download get-pip.py from http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html
Then run the following:
sudo python get-pip.py
For example:

If you want to install
pip without the need for sudo , which is always frustrating when trying to install packages globally, install pip in your local folder /usr/local like this:
and then:

Install python3 first, then use pip3 to install packages.
python3 will be installed, and pip is shipped with it. To use pip to install some package, run the following
Notice it's pip3 because you want to use python3.

Somehow easy install doesn't work on my old mac (10.8). This solve my problem.
If you do not have wget, just open in browser
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py then save as get-pip.py

I recommend Anaconda to you. It`s the leading open data science platform powered by Python. There are many basic packages installed.
