Error using pip to install frameworks,etc - python

every time i try to install something with pip i get the error "You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command."
i use the command given but i only get "Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\users\iagol\pycharmprojects\devinsanta challenge\venv\lib\site-packages (18.1)
according to that file path it is referring to another test project of mine... Shouldnt pip be updated to all my projects?
(please excuse my noobness, first timer here lol)

I think you're updating the pip in your virtual environment, but not the one installed in the system.
To make sure you're using the pip in your virtual environment, you need to activate it first. The activation script is in ./venv/bin.

pip install ppaquette-gym-doom

I wrote pip install ppaquette-gym-doom
and it gives me a
error: legacy:install-failure
I tried pip install gensim pip install dlib --pre python -m pip install --upgrade pillow
python -m pip install --upgrade pip and python -m pip isntall --upgrade wheel
those codes didnt solved my problem
I am not familiar with gym-doom but based on some quick research it looks like you are getting this error because "ppaquette-gym-doom" is an obsolete version. From the github page "Note: This environment is not maintained anymore, and uses an old version of VizDoom."
It seems like the new version is simply "pip install gym-doom". This will also require something called Vizdoom.
Again this is based on quick research. I have never used these libraries.

why is my pip installing tool not working anymore with python version 3.7

When I run pip3 install -r requirements.txt on a project I get this error message:
pip._vendor.pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (pip 20.2.2
(/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('pip==20.1.1'))
Why is that happening? I am completely blocked on working on new projects.
My python version is 3.7.8 and I am working on a MAC.
Has this something to do with homebrew python version is now 3.8 what is also installed on my machine.
It looks like pip is mentioned in the requirements.txt file, requiring a specific version of pip. Installation should work when you remove the line which specifies the pip version from requirements.txt.
requirements.txt should mention the packages you need for your project, not the tool which you need to install those requirements. That's kind of self-referencing.
Try upgrading your pip version.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
If this does pesist, consider using python virtual environments (venv)

pip is rolling back

I have a problem with the pip python 3.x installation.
I have pip version 19.0.3, but when i use pycharm, it keeps saying that i need the pip updated.
when i check the folder, I can see there is another version of pip pip-10.0.1-py3.7.egg in the folder.
I remember ticking the option to add the python in the environment path when i installed python.
When I tried to update/install pip again, i got the error.
(venv) C:\Users\ranic\PycharmProjects\ProjectDatabase>pip help install
You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
(venv) C:\Users\r\PycharmProjects\ProjectDatabase>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\users\r\pycharmprojects\projectdatabase\venv\lib\site-packages (19.0.3)
Thank you in advance.
If you check, I guarantee that pip is not in the same place as python.
Mine are, seen below:
C:\Users\adsmith>where pip
C:\Users\adsmith\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\Users\adsmith>where python
C:\Users\adsmith\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe
but I'm guessing your python is referring to Python2, and pip Python3 (or vice versa). If you find the version of Python that pip refers to, you should be able to do:
path/to/that/python -m pip install --upgrade pip

pip refuses to upgrade

I currently have installed pip 8.1.2.
So I want to upgrade it to the latest version (9.0.1) and I execute:
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip
Downloading pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.3MB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 1.3MB 846kB/s
Installing collected packages: pip
Found existing installation: pip 8.1.2
Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Successfully installed pip-8.1.2
You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
It seems that it correctly downloads 9.0.1 but then it refuses to uninstall the existing installation (8.1.2)
And then at the end it suggests me to upgrade using the same exact instruction I already provided!
Am I doing anything wrong?
The Ubuntu pip version has been patched to prevent self-upgrades (all installation into system-managed files are prevented, the patch is named hands-off-system-packages.patch). You are supposed to use the Ubuntu packaging system to upgrade instead. The feedback provided could be improved certainly.
As there is no Ubunutu package of pip 9.0.1 available yet for your Ubuntu version, you can't actually upgrade to a newer version this way (there is a version for Zesty however).
A (ugly) work-around is to use easy_install instead:
sudo easy_install -U pip
This works because easy_install has not been booby-trapped to prevent the upgrade. However, this'll replace system managed files with the newer pip version. If your package manager were to re-install the python-pip package, it'll happily overwrite those files and you could in theory end up with a broken installation. Also, easy_install adds more files than the package would, and those extra files could cause issues later down the line, especially when you upgrade python-pip later when a new version is packaged.
If you were to use a virtualenv, you are free to upgrade pip inside that, which works just fine.
If above are not working, please try this it works(I had similar situations and this works):
download get-pip.py:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Run the downloaded file: python get-pip.py
Above uninstalls the old version and install the latest ones.
Reference Link: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py
Had a similar issue with pip not wishing to upgrade, though I'm not keen on replacing the package manager's version and as I'm always adding the --user option on installations via pip I figured "what's the harm?" in doing the same with pip on itself.
pip install --user --upgrade pip
It'll only work for one user but for some use cases that is just peachy.

Trouble with installing pip 8.1.1 from 7.1.2

I'm having an issue with upgrading pip from 7.1.2 to 8.1.1. At first I downloaded Python 3.4 and installed pip from there but then noticed Python 3.5 was there so I downloaded that. When trying to use pip to install selenium it says You are using pip version 7.1.2 however 8.1.1 is available. I do "pip install --upgrade pip" then get an error. See attached screenshot.What do I do? Btw I'm on windows 8.1.enter image description here
Ok. It's working if I run cmd as an admin then do
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
In Mac, I ran:
sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then, it worked.
Did you try python -m pip install --upgrade pip? if pip is being used, it cannot install itself.
This is a common question that requires few germane steps to pre-installing other modules in Python.
Depending on the version of your Python (Either the 2.X series or the 3.X series), and the operation system (Window, Ubuntu, etc ), you will need to do the following;
Open CMD (Short-Cut: Control+R button on the keyboard)
Make sure the current directory is the administrator on the hard-drive of the system and your internet connection is available.
i.e C:\Users\System_Name PC
Type in the command:
Pip install --upgrade pip
i.e C:\Users\System_Name PC > pip install --upgrade pip
and hit ENTER key to activate:
It will uninstall the previous version and install the latest version
Restart the system and continue the installation of each python module
e.g Pip install dateutil
Pip install numpy
Pip install matplotlib
Peradventure you wish to specify the version of the python module dependencies you want to install;
Pip install Django==1.90
It will install the specific version: otherwise if not specified, the latest version of the target module would be installed.
