Instapy: Installation issue : py get-pip.py

[jeffreylm]

Hello Everyone,

I am busy re-installing Instapy on a new system. I have reached the step of py get-pip.py, but when I type it in I get the error: python.exe: can't open file 'get-pip.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have executed all the steps from the Advance setup steps. One side note, I didn't reboot when having done the P

Could someone assist me in this?

Greetings,
Jeffrey

I had the same problem and I just skipped it the first time I installed and everything was OK. However I had to update everything and again had this issue so I looked a bit further. I'm a bit of a novice at these things (I'm more into hardware), but here is how I got around it...

As stated in this thread - https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/422 you need to find the get-pip.py file download it and save it as "get-pip.py" - here it is again https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py. I put it in the python36-32\scripts folder.

Make sure your terminal or powerShell is in the python36-32\scripts folder and type...
py get-pip.py

Hope that helps someone.

@deendee ! You rock! for google purposes: I was getting "no such file or directory" when trying to install InstaPy part 3.1 running py get-pip.py and Deendee's solution worked great!

@yg2dras1 can you tell me how did you save the code from the link ? I don't know what to do with it. i saved it as a py, but the command still can't find it. Thanks

@stoicavali91
I had the error as the OP, so I moved the downloaded 'get-pip.py' file to my Python36/Scripts/directory; then I used cd in command prompt to open the directory Python36/Scripts ; and then 'python get-pip.py' command executed successfully.
