pip command cannot be found

masscode

Hi,
I am brand new to Pythonista and just installed Stash to get pip working, but it does not find the command.
I found pip.py in bin, so I tried that as well to no avail.
Let me know what I need to do to get this working.
Thanks!

@masscode you only called to pip you need to pass a command after.inputing pip -h or pip help will give you available commands.

EXAMPLE:

[~/Documents]$ pip
Error: unknown command: None
[~/Documents]$ pip help
usage: pip.py [-h] [--verbose] [-6] sub-command ...
pip.py: error: argument sub-command: invalid choice: 'help' (choose from 'list', 'install', 'download', 'search', 'versions', 'uninstall', 'update')
[~/Documents]$ 

What are you tring to accomplish ?

Ah, now it looks familiar. Thanks!
I am trying to connect to APIs, get financial data and analyse it.

@masscode No problem 😊 just remember to check if they are Pure Python. otherwise import will fail.
