The page I was thinking of is

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/

I found it by an internet search for "pip installer".  It covers several 
ways to install pip on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. On Linux, use it for 
Python installations that were *not* installed by the system.  Use the 
package manager if the Python installation or upgrade *was* installed by 
the system.

That Redhat link basically uses the pypa.io instructions.
