Install pip in Cygwin

pip is the most commonly used Python package manager. Pip can be installed in Cygwin from the Windows Command Prompt using the Cygwin Package Manager:

setup-x86_64.exe -Bq -P python3-pip

Some pip installable packages using compiled code require the Python development libraries and a C, C++ or Fortran compiler:

setup-x86_64.exe -Bq -P python3 gcc-core gcc-g++ gcc-fortran

Verify from Cygwin Terminal:

python3 -m pip --version
