``pip`` invocations
-------------------
``pip`` invocation
------------------
There are three ways to invoke a ``pip`` command:
There are many ways to invoke a ``pip`` command, we recommend the following
approach:
1. ``pip``
This points to python3 pip if you are in an appropriate environment,
but in some cases it can actually point to a python2 pip.
```
python3 -m pip
```
2. ``pip3``
When present, this always points to a python3 pip, most likely in
the same environment as your python3.
3. ``python3 -m pip``
This invokes pip explicitly using the python3 binary that you are
currently using. This is the **recommended way** to invoke pip
in our documentation, since it is least likely to cause problems
with python3 and pip being from different environments.
For more information on how to invoke ``pip`` commands, see
`the pip documentation <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_.
