A duplicate of this. But here goes:

Just a warning telling you that you have an outdated pip version.

Setup:
PC Windows 10 -- Have administrator rights
Python version 3.10.8
pip version 22.3
cmd used:
pip install pygal_maps_world
I am trying to pip install pygal_maps_world (have tried multiple variations of pip install) and constantly get:
ERROR: Error [WinError 5] Access is denied while executing command python setup.py egg_info
and
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 5] Access is denied
Check the permissions
I can install other packages using pip, just not this particular package.
Any suggestions on how to get around this error?
Attempted: I have tried multiple variations of pip install following suggestions on here and other sites, and this is the only package I have not been able to install using pip. As I need it to complete some work, I need to install it.
Expected: pip install should install this like any other package
I want to download a library from Python libraries called (pytube)
When I place the download command [pip install git + https: //github.com/pytube/pytube] in the cmd panel, the following output will come out:
Collecting git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube
Cloning https://github.com/pytube/pytube to c:\users\jit\appdata\local\temp\pip-req-build-w3q3fwqn
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pytube==10.6.1 from git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube in c:\users\jit\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pytube, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
WARNING: You are using pip version 20.2.3; however, version 21.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\users\jit\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
So I write what prompts [pip install --upgrade pip] into the cmd panel, and it gets the following output:
Installing collected packages: pip
Attempting uninstall: pip
Found existing installation: pip 20.2.3
Uninstalling pip-20.2.3:

And in another attempt to install it, I typed the command in the (Terminal) inside the (PyCharm) program:
Collecting git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube
Cloning https://github.com/pytube/pytube to c:\users\jit\appdata\local\temp\pip-req-build-o5uke_cl

And I did not succeed in installing the library! Why is that? How do I get to the solution?
Try installing pytube3. pip install pytube3
for the pip warning it's just a warning because you are not using the latest version , use this command to upgrade it: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Welcome to Stackoverflow!!!
For pytube as you already installed, try upgrade to latest version pytube-10.6.1:
python -m pip install --upgrade pytube
For pip install --upgrade pip error, this is happening due to insufficient access:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\jit\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-uninstall-pnqylmmj\\pip.exe'
Solution:
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
Try:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user
Or open the command prompt as administrator and execute the same command.
While using this command
"python -m pip install --upgrade pip"
I get this error message:

What's the solution to this?
I'm not too sure what the error could be, but I suspect the problem is that you are not running your terminal/command prompt as an administrator. So when you are launching your terminal/command prompt just right-click and run as administrator
Or you could try using a different method of updating pip,
pip install --upgrade pip
Can you try with this command instead ? Also if any issue persists try running cmd as Administrator
python -m pip install --user --upgrade pip
I am on a windows 10 system, and I recently installed the latest version of python python 3.7.0. I enable the PATH and tried to install pygame through CMD.
I first type in pip, that works as normal.
I then try pip install pygame
Now, this is where the problem arises.
CMD comes up with this:

You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.

Why is it doing this?
Somebody please help me and thank you in advance.
"Access dienied" means that you don't have enough permissions to change the global setup of your Python installation.
Either open a cmd line with Adminstrator permissions, or better: learn how to use Python virtual environments: https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/
I can't upgrade the pip, and install packages.
