title: unable to get pip to work in a shared hosting environment
body: <p>I was hoping someone might be able to provide a resource that will help me install python 3.6.0 on a shared hosting account at Bluehost.  I’ve tried using the documentation for python 2.7 but have been unsuccessful to date.  The current state of the machine now is if I run <code>python –V</code> it says 2.6.6 .  If, however I place:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export PATH=$HOME/python/Python-3.6.0/:$PATH
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in the .bashrc file in my home directory and then run python –V it says 3.6.0  However I am unable to get pip to work.  I also noticed that during the python setup procedure permission was denied on a number of files.  </p>
  
  <p>I am really at a lost as there seems to be very little documentation for how to do this on a shared hosting environment.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>here's a link to the instructions I followed <a href="http://django-cms.blogspot.com/2013/01/install-python-on-bluehost-hostmonster.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python</a></p>
  
  <p>I thought pip would be installed as it said pip 9.0.2 was installed but when I try to run it it say cxommand not found.  When I tried easy_install pip I got back the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-13141.write-test'
  
  The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
  the distutils default setting) was:
  
  /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
  </code></pre>
