A duplicate of this. But here goes:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\python39\lib\site-packages\pip-20.2.3.dist-info\entry_points.txt' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.
A permission error, you can run your command prompt as an administrator or add the --user flag on your pip command.
WARNING: You are using pip version 20.2.3; however, version 20.3.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\python39\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Just a warning telling you that you have an outdated pip version.
