Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 20.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

hmm - is there some thing wrong with the permissions!? 

 

i thought that i have full admin-rights on this machine (wich runs in my office)

 

any ideas - look forward for any and all help. 

 

regards 

 

btw:  to explain the situation here. i am in a new head start into python. I am a long term-linux-user (more than 15 years now) - on the machine in the office i have Windows 10  and at home i have a linux-notebook. 
currently i am on Linux MX 19.1 which is a Debian-based type of Linux. i want to set up a Python development environment:

i have several options: we can use Flatpack, since it is integrated into MXPI and it makes easier. some of my friends not use this (Fedora) packaging system, i can install codium as sugested on their web page: it is supposed to worked and we re keep getting updates if we install codium.
Here are the steps we can use: (Codium is the same as Code, just removed Microsoft 'telemetry')
VSCodiumhttps://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases

but back to the win-issues. I guess that i have to clear up what goes wrong on the win-machine. !?

 

 

 

 

update: - using the powershell all was working very well - solved -

are you running your command prompt in admin mode? it should say in the title bar if it is like so.

you need to specify 'run as admin' from the right click menu when you launch command prompt.

    • I see, yeah that makes sense. I have been in situations where I barely did not crush badly on the road due to other driver starting to change lanes into another car - freaked out last second and avoided it by crashing into the side of the bridge instead. i got away because I quickly changed lanes 2 times in a couple of second and unlike that idiot I did not lose control big part of this was my car was good 😊 (audi a7) vs the old van the crashed driver was driving would AI be able to react and quickly change lanes twice both time barely avoiding collision … I don’t know my car systems pumped the breaks and tried to warn me with a beep and vibration but if I slammed the breaks the car behind me would hit me then again I have BMW driver training and a good car - so I have no idea how robot taxi would react i am not sure extreme fast lane changes would be programmed in - it is dangerous as hell unless you are FULLY aware, and have done it before but it is a general risk to do it especially in the conditions with bad weather and when you are not driving a sports car with 4 wheel drive and very good control
