How to Install pip for python 3.7 on Ubuntu 18?

In general, don’t do this:

pip install package

because, as you have correctly noticed, it’s not clear what Python version you’re installing package for.

Instead, if you want to install package for Python 3.7, do this:

python3.7 -m pip install package

Replace package with the name of whatever you’re trying to install.

Took me a surprisingly long time to figure it out, too. The docs about it are here.

Your other option is to set up a virtual environment. Once your virtual environment is active, executable names like python and pip will point to the correct ones.
