Installing pip in PyQGIS

"pip" is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. Many packages can be found in the Python Package Index (PyPI).

Many modules are installed through "pip", so as the SWMM5 module.

If it shows errors regarding setuptools: you will have to install setuptools.

Download setuptools package, then repeat the same steps for installation.
