title: Install pip for python 3.5
body: <p><strong>SOLUTION</strong> My user did not own permissions to the pip directory, I reinstalled Python 3.5 using the <code>sudo -H</code> flag</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to install Tensorflow for python 3.5 using pip3 -- for reasons described in <a href="https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/3196#issuecomment-231114859" rel="noreferrer">this</a> github issue -- but when I install using <code>sudo pip3 install *.whl</code> it installs to python 3.4. </p>
  
  <p>How can I redirect <code>pip3</code> to install into my python 3.5 directory?</p>
  
  <p>I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04</p>
  
  <pre><code>kendall@kendall-Macmini:~/Downloads$ python3.4 -m pip --version
  pip 8.1.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pip-8.1.2-py3.4.egg (python 3.4)
  kendall@kendall-Macmini:~/Downloads$ python3.5 -m pip --version
  /usr/local/bin/python3.5: No module named pip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It looks like I don't even have pip installed for python 3.5. How can I do this?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>kendall@kendall-Macmini:~/Downloads$ pip install -U pip
  Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pip-8.1.2-py3.4.egg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also,</p>
  
  <pre><code>kendall@kendall-Macmini:~/Downloads$ whereis pip
  pip: /usr/bin/pip /usr/bin/X11/pip /usr/local/bin/pip3.4 /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/local/bin/pip2.7 /usr/share/man/man1/pip.1.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't find any support for upgrading to pip3.5</p>
