Installing Python on iSH

Question

Not long ago my computer broke and I am stuck on an iPad. I installed iSH from the AppStore. Now I want to download Python and make sure pip works.

I have tried apk add python, which lead to the pip issue, but pip installing is important for me. I have also found other ways using yam or apt(-get), but I do not know how to download either of them.

Answer 1

According information that you provided iSH using virtual environment with Alpine Linux x86 under the hood (I little bit simplify explanation, so it is not 100% correct. You can see details here).

So if you want to install pip you have to search how to install pip in Alpine Linux. You will find many answers like that:

apk add --update-cache python3 py3-pip

This information applicable to any other package that you will try to install. Not just pip.
