# Unable to pip install

> Resolve pip install issues for the Pinecone Python SDK: use pip3 on Python 3.x, choose pinecone[grpc] or plain pinecone for HTTP, and upgrade to the latest release.

Python `3.x` uses `pip3`. Use the following commands in your terminal to install the latest version of the [Pinecone Python SDK](/reference/sdks/python/overview):

```Shell Shell theme={null}
# If you are connecting to Pinecone via gRPC:
pip3 install -U pinecone[grpc]
```

```Shell Shell theme={null}
# If you are connecting to Pinecone via HTTP:
pip3 install -U pinecone
```
