Vagrant not installing pip during provision

Question

Here is my bootstrap.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2
apt-get install python-pip

if ! [ -L /var/www ]; then
  rm -rf /var/www
  ln -fs /vagrant /var/www
fi

Here is my Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"
  config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh"
end

I ran

vagrant reload --provision
vagrant ssh

but when I type pip it returns

The program 'pip' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install python-pip

I verified I was able to

sudo apt-get install library

in the ssh terminal, so I am not sure what is wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

i guess it's installed, but for some reason is not added to path, so you can't invoke it by typing pip, check if it's really installed – Dasilva

Try adding the -y flag to the command where you install pip, just like you have it for apache2, and provisioning again. This tells apt-get to assume "yes" for all questions, including "are you sure you want to install these packages". This flag is important for non-interactive APT use. – Industry

Try replacing apt-get install python-pip with apt-get -y install python-pip as Chris already said in the comments.
