Installing 'requests' using easy_install

I'm trying to install 'requests module' using easy_install but I'm getting the following error:



$ sudo easy_install requests
Processing requests
error: Not a recognized archive type: requests


If I try with pip, I get the following error:



$ pip install requests
Unknown or unsupported command 'install'

  • install is a valid pip command, so something is very wrong. What version of Ubuntu are you using? How did you install pip? What does pip --version say?

I will have to check what the log says, but as you see pip works just fine. You may need to reinstall pip:



sudo apt-get --purge autoremove pip
sudo apt-get install pip

  • It installs just fine here, you're giving pip the wrong package name. It's requests. It's also a different error than the question, which have nothing to do with each other.
