You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 21.2.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command

I am trying to get started with python on VS Code but I keep getting this error when I want to install the matplotlib library.

Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.
pip install -U --upgrade pip

I tried a lot of different ones but the one below worked for me
pip3 install --upgrade pip --user

Three things to do:
Run this in your bash terminal
python3 pip install --upgrade pip
Configure your VS Code environment for python 3.x
Run your file using python3 [filename.py]

If the above suggestion fails, you should try:
pip install --upgrade pip

I added the folder than tried pip install --upgrade pip and it worked. You may have to show your hidden folders to follow the path.

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases. To fix this problem, I'm trying to install it using this command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv)

Unable to install a Python package

Whenever I try to install the SpeechRecognition package within my Python environment it keeps telling me You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 20.3.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command., However, when I check the pip version I can see that it's on the latest version. The package doesn't install and continues to show this message.
Also just an off question, what does the -m wildcard do for the pip install command?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I'm making a website on django and I receive the warning below about pip. I have updated it twice, once outside docker and the other within it. I still receive this warning. How do I go about properly updating it?

How to break recursive error when updating PIP

I'm trying to update PIP (the Python package installer) so I can install a package in Python, but in order to do so, I need to use a PIP command. Essentially, I can't update PIP without having PIP been updated (i.e the command is python -m pip install --upgrade pip).
The error message is get is:
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
In addition, the packages that I am attempting to install do not install.
I'm unsure how to get around this problem, and would greatly appreciate some help.

Just try it with administration privileges.
sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip
*** If you are using windows run the command prompt as the administration

Environment Error [Errno 2] while installing pip packages or upgrading pip

pip used to work fine until recently. First I was trying to install a pip-package using
pip install -e [some-git-link]
and I get the error
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/me/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-19.0.1.dist-info/METADATA'
I then cd'ed into site-packages and the folder is empty. Indeed, I have pip installed in dis-packages and its version is 18.1, not 19.0!
I tried to update pip through
pip install -U pip
but I get the same error.
Typing
pip --version
I get
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/init.py:83: RequestsDependencyWarning: Old version of cryptography ([1, 2, 3]) may cause slowdown.
warnings.warn(warning, RequestsDependencyWarning)
pip 18.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7)
so it seems that pip 18.1 is installed. Indeed, if I try
sudo apt-get install python-pip
I get
python-pip is already the newest version (8.1.1-2ubuntu0.4).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62 not upgraded.
I was wondering if all these problems were coming from the warning on the cryptography, and so I tried to do
sudo pip install --upgrade cryptography
but obviously I go back to the same Environment Error.

Thou shalt not use sudo with pip. Using sudo with pip is asking for trouble. When you do that you are having pip and your OS's package manager get into a fight. When they fight no one wins, least of all your Python installation and personal sanity. I know countless tutorials tell you to sudo pip install, but they are not your friends. The only safe and reliable way to maintain a functional Python installation is to let your OS's package manager manage what it wants to manage and either use pip install --user or virtual environments (using either virtualenv or optionally python -m venv if you're on Python 3).
I really can't stress enough that you will constantly be running into little weird things (and occasional catastrophic problems) within your Python installation if you persistently sudo install things. Learn to love virtual environments! You can even modify your shell's PATH so that things you install in an environment are available as commands (which is commonly why people think they need sudo pip install).

You could test to update PythonOpenSSL :
$ sudo python -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
If not Ok, please do :
$ sudo pip install --upgrade cryptography
But error with : $ sudo pip
So do after :
$ sudo python -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
Have Fun,

I was getting this error trying to install packages while building a Docker image (with python:3.8 as base). Upgrading pyOpenSSL as #Johan MRe suggested solved it for me.
RUN python3 -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
