At first: it's kind of brave to use that folder as your working directory. Despite of that you should check if your proxy is properly configured and working. You should also try without any proxy settings. — Klaus D., Dec 16 '18 at 07:37

This type of Error occurs while updating the pip. But can be resolved by using following commands.

step 1:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
step 2:

python3 get-pip.p --force-reinstall
step 3:

Now check the pip version:

pip3 --version

This can happen with older versions of pip. Try to upgrade it with pip install --upgrade pip
