Do not pass any parameters:

python get-pip.py

or

/path/to/version/python get-pip.py

I have solved the issue by following the steps.

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install --upgrade pip

If you face any other issue you can check the article. How to Install pip

The install command is unnecassary, as others pointed on, switch to get-pip.py directory and run command python get-pip.py would be enough.

The error indicates that the pip tries to install something with the install command and it does not find the requirement of package name to be installed. This install or upgrade you can do once pip gets installed.

The command python \path\to\getpip\get-pip.py will take care of installing pip with python. Once this step is completed you could try install or upgrade command like pip install <pkgname>
