If you run which pip instead of pip3, what do you get? Also, pip --version does anything? – alphazeta

Is there any chance that you have messed up your PATH somehow? Could you check echo $PATH? – FlyingTeller

When a Python distribution contains no pip, it can usually be installed with python -m ensurepip or python3 -m ensurepip or whichever Python you are using.
