title: Unable to install pip with easy_install
body: <p>I'm trying to install <code>pip</code> with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo easy_install pip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Searching for pip
  Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
  Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?)
  Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
  Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/
  No local packages or download links found for pip
  error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have checked that python is installed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python --version
  Python 2.7.10
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>According to multiple threads this should be working correctly, what am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p><br>
  After downloading <code>https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py</code> and running :</p>
  
  <pre><code>python get-pip.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting this error:</p>
