Please check if you have pip installed.

which pip

might already help - or check dpkg via

dpkg -l | grep pip

Both methods should tell you if you have pip installed or not.

If it isn't installed so far, install it via:

sudo apt install python-pip
2

If you have python3, use the command below:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
1

This problem comes because we might be unknowingly using some packages from python3 and for this we would need pip for python3

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

this would work.
