I tried to begin to program a discord Bot with Python. When I tried to use this command: python3 -m pip install -U discord.py to install pip it gives me this Error:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/multidict-4.7.5.dist-info'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
You are using pip version 18.1, however version 20.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

When I tried the "pip install --upgrade pip" command it prints he couldnt find the command "Pip" I dont know what to do and for Information: Im on MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.4

Thanks to the Helpers!

    Does this answer your question?

  • Welcome to the confusing world of Python! Are you using a virtual environment, usually a solid way to go about making sure you do not mess up permissions I recommend pipenv. – Justin Rice May 04 '20 at 14:49

You have to use:

pip install --upgrade pip --user

This worked for me. The normal way doesn't work because you have installed python and pip with it only for user.

an use pip install's --user option to install packages into your home directory where you have all required permissions. E.g.:

pip install install -U discord.py --user
