+/// tip
+
+Sometimes, you might get a **`No module named pip`** error when trying to upgrade pip.
+
+If this happens, install and upgrade pip using the command below:
+
+<div class="termy">
+
+```console
+$ python -m ensurepip --upgrade
+
+---> 100%
+```
+
+</div>
+
+This command will install pip if it is not already installed and also ensures that the installed version of pip is at least as recent as the one available in `ensurepip`.

## Add `.gitignore` { #add-gitignore }
If you are using **Git** (you should), add a `.gitignore` file to exclude everything in your `.venv` from Git.
