Background

I heard that cling can be used with jupyter and installed it, but if I use the pip command,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip import main
ImportError: No module named pip

I got an error saying that pip didn't know pip.

Alright, update pip! pip install -U pip! Well, it's impossible because you can't use pip. It's jammed.

Solution

The official pip docs says to run this script, and it looks like it worked. (There is a warning message, but if it doesn't work, it won't work in the first place, so let's go through)

In a directory that doesn't get in the way

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

I ran it like that, and it started working safely. For pip3, it's OK if you run it with python3. I'm happy.
