If you trying to install a package for Python using pip package manager on your macOS/Linux terminal using the zsh shell and you get error zsh: command not found: pip, one reason could be that you have pip3 installed with Python 3, so try pip3 install package-name, if this too gives the same error you need to first install pip3
