pip install SSL Module in Python Is Not Available
Working inside a virtual environment and running pip install
anything was giving me this error:
pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL,
however the ssl module in Python is not available.
Also this error:
Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module
is not available
I wanted to install requests
such as:
(env)$ pip install requests
I deactivated the virtualenv
and ran:
$ pip install -U pip
I got this error:
Permission denied: 'usr/bin/pip'
Then ran this. As recommended on the output:
$ pip install -U pip --user
This worked.
Now I wanted to install requests
:
$ pip install requests --user
This worked too.
Remove and Create a new env
I removed the virtualenv
and created a new one:
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
Installing requests
:
env$ pip install requests
This works now.
