I gave the command on terminal of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as-

How can I install pip? Please see to the errors above.

Answer 1

Okay so to get pip you need to install those missing dependencies. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update

Then

sudo apt-get upgrade

Next try:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

If that doesn't work then try with -f
