In my experience, on Windows pip is always included but on Linux hardly 
ever.  I have always needed to install the system installer pip package 
or get it from the pip site, depending, as I wrote earlier, on whether 
your version of Python was installed by the system or not.

[I'm no great Linux expert but I've had to go through this for probably 
a dozen VMs over the last few years].
