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.
Maybe I should go with 'chown' but don't know how to use it. Please help.

Since you want to upgrade your system-wide Python, you need to run this command with administrator privilege:
sudo pip install -U pip
But, I recommend you not changing/polluting your system-wide Python. Instead use a virtualenv:
virtualenv myapp
source myapp/bin/activate
pip install -U pip # <- only if virtualenv is not up to date

Installing Virtual Environment with PIP for Python Via Mac OS X Terminal

So, just a quick question. I've installed Pip for Python via Homebrew in the Mac OS X terminal. The next thing I tried to do was install the virtual environment via pip install virtualenv --and that's where I ran into a problem. I get the following error message:
Exception:

Anyone know what to do?
I'm new to all this, so I'm completely at a loss as to what to do.
Thanks.

Have you seen http://softwaretester.info/install-and-upgrade-pip-on-mac-os-x/
this might help you i am windows user so its command is like pip install package-name but you must present in Scripts folder of the python27 in windows but i don't know about the mac-os-x . so do this also change your directory to python27/scripts and then use your command of pip
If this helps you.Support with thumbs up

What is the problem and how can I resolve it?

the problem is caused because you have not given the super user permission to the system. in order to make any changes into the system you should go to super user mode, for that you have to type the code as
sudo pip install virtualenv
it will help you out

It's probably because the user you are logged as can't install to that folder.
First option: You can do:
sudo pip install virtualenv
to download as root user
Second Option: you could do these commands in sequence in terminal:
First:
cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-8.1.2-py2.7.egg/
This command will go to the folder you have pip installed in.
Second:
ls -l
This command will show permissions for files/folders. In on the of the columns you will see users who has access to folder pip (eg. root).
Third: Change it to the user you are logged in as with instead of root:
sudo chown -R your_username:your_username path/to/pip/
This is assuming that folders up in the hierarchy don't have root permissions, otherwise you would need to change them too. I'm talking about: Library, Python etc.

The command prompt is run as an Administrator, so I have the permission.
What should I do? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Have you installed its dependencies like numpy and scipy? Check it out and then we will proceed further.
Final Solution:
try conda like conda install scikit-learn=_version_

Here is what I did to solve this exact problem on my Windows 10 pc with Anaconda Python 3.6 installed:
open an Anaconda prompt window as administrator
pip uninstall kivy
pip install kivy
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2

Virtualenv venv fails with the following error

I installed pip with
easy_install pip
Then I installed virtualenv with
pip install virtualenv
Without any errors. However I'm still getting this. I didn't want to try it with sudo. Should I?
UPDATE: I installed them with sudo, and I got rid of this error. However another one when trying to install something with pip:
air:dashboard alexandrurada$ pip install flask
-bash: /usr/local/bin/pip: "path_here": bad interpreter: No such file or directory
UPDATE 2: The earlier error was because of a space inside a directory name. Looks like path doesn't work with such names.
Anyway, the error I'm getting now is
File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: No module named pip
I checked my /usr/local/bin/pip and the file exists.

You need sudo pip install virtualenv to install virtualenv globally. When setting up your virtualenvs make sure you don't use sudo and that you activate your virtualenv before trying to install.
[Errno 13] Permission denied: means you don't have write permissions.

Install a newer version of pip and avoid using easy_install.
Download pip from: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
and then run Python on it:
$ python get-pip.py
If you want to install pip to the global path, you likely want to run that last command with sudo. Without using sudo, pip will get installed for use with whatever Python interpreter is in your path.
From here, you can install virtualenv with pip:
$ pip install virtualenv
From your responses, it seems like you'd be best served by getting your system in a known state: Download that file, then run sudo python get-pip.py so you're running with a known-working pip install.
