for Ubuntu 12.04
How important is it to have the latest pip installed?
Initially I want to use it to install the latest pymongo driver for
mongoDB. The pip version in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories is 1.0.1.
I see on http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/ the version is
1.2.1.
It certainly would be easier to install from the repositories but
will that version work to install the latest python packages?
Thanks, Jim
You could just try it? And downloading it and then doing sudo tar
-xvr pip.tar.gz, cd ..., sudo python setup.py isn't that hard, is
it?
I usually install from the repositories or maybe a ppa so I don't
believe I have ever done an install from a tar. If necessary I will
familiarize myself with the command you gave (yes I saw your followup
changing -xvr to -xvf) and install that way.
However, I still wonder if using the outdated pip from the repository
will allow me to install the latest python packages? Will trying to use
an outdated pip cause me problems?
But you're right, I also nnoticed that the Canonical repositories are
a little outdated sometimes. Would be nice if it's possible to add
pypi.org, so updating would be easier.
