pip doesn't upgrade in windows

Question

Even though there were some similar question but none of proposed solution applied to my case. Simply, after tensorflow installationattempting to install packages this message

"You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available. You   
should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' 
command."

like this: But following this python -m pip install --upgrade pip doesn't work even with administrator level, nor this one : python -m pip install -U pip.

(I'm using Miniconda, just as an additional information)

What error message do you get with `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`? It usually gives no trouble. — BoarGules, May 18 '18 at 07:31
(The nuclear option is of course uninstall+reinstall the latest distribution incl. pip. But that's a last resort. Did you install conda as Administrator or User?) — smci, May 18 '18 at 07:34
I had installed conda as User. I put the image of when I tried to upgrade as admimstrator (just to try), but as normal user also the situation is the same. — Shivid, May 18 '18 at 07:36
Rather than using an image to show the error code, it's better to copy the full error code and add it to the question as code. It's easier for us to copy, and it's better for search engines and other users to find relevant results. — Bram Vanroy, May 18 '18 at 08:30

I think it manybe PIP command before installing TensorFlow can be normal use, only after installation problems, probably because the new version of Python compatible with TensorFlow might be a little less, so update PIP and conda command, can fix. by command conda install pip

@Hamidreza Ok,Sorry I didn't see that.I think you should check whether the python status is normal by command python -v .And then I suggest you reinstall python. – Leal Li May 18 '18 at 07:45
well, I ran `python -v`, everything seems to be ok, on the other hand I'm using it with lots of library now, so I hope I can find a solution. – Shivid May 18 '18 at 08:02

you are right, it raised right after tesorflow installation, but I did not know that. thanks @Leal.li – Shivid May 18 '18 at 08:34
`'conda install pip` worked and I didn't loss already installed packages :) – Shivid May 18 '18 at 08:39

`pip install --upgrade pip` doesn't work on Windows. – BoarGules May 18 '18 at 07:29
unfortunately not :( – Shivid May 18 '18 at 07:29
Try reinstalling the pip. – Niranjan May 18 '18 at 07:30
`pip install pip --upgrade` gets the work done note: you are running cmd as administrator – Mahesh Jamdade Mar 04 '19 at 03:15

I haven't worked in Conda-environments for a long time but I think it was:

conda update pip

I had similar problem after installing tensorflow in windows. pip install wasn't working for me. pip install returned same error.

After some checks, i found that issue was with html5lib and setuptools. I have answered the same here transport_encoding solved

Basically, i reinstalled html5lib using

conda install -c anaconda html5lib

which were superseded by a higher priority channel

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I found the answer here.

To install this package with conda run one of the following:

conda install -c conda-forge pip

Sample Output:

The following packages will be UPDATED:

    ca-certificates: 2018.03.07-0      --> 2018.4.16-0       conda-forge
    certifi:         2018.4.16-py36_0  --> 2018.4.16-py36_0  conda-forge
    conda:           4.5.9-py36_0      --> 4.5.9-py36_0      conda-forge
    openssl:         1.0.2o-hfa6e2cd_1 --> 1.0.2o-hfa6e2cd_1 conda-forge
    pip:             10.0.1-py36_0     --> 18.0-py36_1       conda-forge

Proceed ([y]/n)? y
