I am following this tutorial: https://tensorflow-object-detection-api-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#tf-models-install and more specifically: Install the Object Detection API

When I run this command:

python -m pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver .

I get:

/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

I tried the following combinations:

UbuntuUser@ubuntu:~/Desktop/TensorFlow/models/research$ sudo python -m pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver .
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip
UbuntuUser@ubuntu:~/Desktop/TensorFlow/models/research$ sudo python3 -m pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver .

Usage:   
  /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
  /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
  /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
  /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
  /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] <archive url/path> ...

no such option: --use-feature
UbuntuUser@ubuntu:~/Desktop/TensorFlow/models/research$ sudo python3 -m pip3 install --use-feature=2020-resolver .
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip3
UbuntuUser@ubuntu:~/Desktop/TensorFlow/models/research$ sudo python -m pip3 install --use-feature=2020-resolver .
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip3

Both pip and pip3 are install in Ubuntu Mate:

What is wrong?? I tried on google: /usr/bin/python: No module named pip , after installing pip it didn't help...

    Run sudo apt-get install python3-pip and retry.

    You can see pip does work for python3 -m pip, you might have to update it. What does it print out when you do python3 -m pip -V? It's saying the --use-feature option doesn't exist, you might have to update it

    @just_learning That option was added in 20.0.3, the pyhon3 -m pip install --upgrade pip should have worked. What if you leave off the option?

    @just_learning I mean to only run python -m pip install . and see what happens. The --use-feature=2020-resolver is a feature added to allow users to use a newer dependency resolver.

    @just_learning I'm not sure, but that would be a problem for another question. I'm not familiar enough with tensorflow to know what the issue is

As you can see, pip does work when invoked with python3 -m pip. From the comments we've discovered that you are running v20.0.2. The --use-feature option was not added until 20.2 and, since the usual command to upgrade pip was not working, we omitted the option and it ran successfully.
