You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.

I have python 2.7 and 3.5 installed on my Ubuntu machine. I tried the solutions I saw from the internet but I can’t complete the installation

You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.

You should really update pip. Your version is very old.

Did you try to install gvm-tools from pypi or from a local checkout (or url to github)? The latter wont work currently because 2.0beta1 requires python-gvm to be installed before running setup.py. This issue will be fixed in the final 2.0 release.

After updating pip you can try

pip install python-gvm
pip install gvm-tools

And by the way gvm-tools does NOT support Python 2.7. See

Thanks! I already updated my pip.
After that I try to install python-gvm and I get this error.

BlockquoteTraceback (most recent call last):

same with pip install gvm-tools

Something with your update of pip did go wrong. I am sorry I can’t give further advises to fix the installation of pip.
