# pip
Use the `pip` InSpec audit resource to test packages that are installed using the Python PIP installer.
<br>
## Syntax
A `pip` resource block declares a package and (optionally) a package version:
describe pip('package_name') do
it { should be_installed }
end
where
* `'package_name'` is the name of the package, such as `'Jinja2'`
* `be_installed` tests to see if the package described above is installed
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test if Jinja2 is installed on the system
describe pip('Jinja2') do
it { should be_installed }
end
### Test if Jinja2 2.8 is installed on the system
describe pip('Jinja2') do
it { should be_installed }
its('version') { should eq '2.8' }
end
