, so I typed
sudo apt install python-pip
then it said
E: Unable to locate package python-pip
I tried to reset WSL, download using cmd but it doesn't work with Ubuntu. I don't know why. Even though I have downloaded python3, virtualenv, and pip using cmd. It doesn't work with Ubuntu 18.04. It also fails on Ubuntu 14.04.

I'm trying to install jarvis and mycroft on win 10, but I need to use Ubuntu because it only works with Linux.
Solution 1:
ls /bin/python*
Identify the highest version of python listed.
If the highest version is something like python2.7
then install python2-pip
If its something like python3.8
then install python3-pip
Example for python3.8:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Solution 2:
Try following command sequence on Ubuntu terminal:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Solution 3:
Try the following commands in terminal, this will work better:
apt-get install curl
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
