But there are PATH issues you need to beĪware of here.

By doing this, you only ever install packages in your personal directories, and so you avoid interfering If you think you need to use sudo, you're probably trying to modify a Looking at cases where people are upgrading old versions of pip here, Them on this, but it's not going to happen soon (remember, we're Instructions in the system pip, but they don't.

Yes, we know pip says "you should upgrade with pip install You don't use distribution-supplied tools to manage it, you will hit The system installed pip is owned by the distribution, and if Only ever use your system package manager to upgrade the system pip. This is the advice given on a widely linked issue on the GitHub pip site on the subject of system installed pip vs local installed pip: Otherwise, if you don't mind installing the packages in system-wide location it doesn't really matter whether you use apt-get or pip.

However, if you need to install a particular version of python-package, or install the package in a virtualenv, or install a package which is only hosted on PyPI only pip would help you solve that issue. Whereas for pip we generally just need to use for both Python 2 as well as Python3 packages.īoth apt-get and pip are mature package managers which automatically install any other package dependency while installing. Canonical usually names Python 2 packages as python- and Python 3 packages as python3. As mentioned in previous point, if there is a version of a particular python package already installed in system-wide location, and one of our project requires an older version of the same python package, in such situations we can use virtualenv and pip to install that older version of python package without any conflicts.Īs Rădeanu pointed out in this answer, there would generally be difference in names of packages as well. If we are using pip after activating the virtualenv, it is intelligent enough to only install the modules in our project virtualenv. We cannot just install modules in our project virtualenv. This is extremely helpful in case of conflict in dependencies.Īpt-get installs python modules in system-wide location. We can install any version of the package that has previously been uploaded on PyPI. So, with apt-get we cannot decide the version of python-package that we want. So, there are a lot of python modules which you won't be able to install using apt-get.Ĭanonical only hosts a single version of any package (generally the latest or the one released in recent past).

Whereas, PyPI hosts a much broader range of python modules. Some of the differences between installing python packages from apt-get and pip are as follows:Ĭanonical only provides packages for selected python modules. It is a specialized package manager that only deals with python packages.Īpt-get is used to download and install packages from Ubuntu repositories which are hosted by Canonical.

PyPI is hosted by Python Software Foundation. Pip is used to download and install packages directly from PyPI. PyPI is the Python Package index - repository of python modules.
