Lest I forget - how to install pip on Ubuntu

 I seem to forget to remember this almost monthly, every time I spin up a new Ubuntu VM

This time around, it's Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm trying to install python3-pip ( aka pip3 or just pip )

apt-get install -y python3-pip

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package python3-pip is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3-pip' has no installation candidate

Ah, of course, it's sources.list as ever ...

cat <<EOF >> /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy universe
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates universe
EOF

and now apt-get install -y python3-pip is happy
 

ls -al $(which pip)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 221 Nov 10  2023 /usr/bin/pip

ls -al $(which pip3)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 221 Nov 10  2023 /usr/bin/pip3
