The first procedure you followed is correct
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pipBut before installing try to update using command
sudo apt-get updateIf first did not work then you can also do this using curl
curl "" -o "get-pip.py"
python3 get-pip.py --userThen to verify installation try
pip3 --help For checking version :
pip3 --version I fixed such problem by changing Server in "Software & Updates" -> Download from: there I chose different address and 404 disappeared.
1what worked for me
curl -sS >>setup.py
python3 setup.py
