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.

    • The DS925+ which is this years model with 2.5G networking is only marginally more expensive. About £25 more on Amazon UK. Not sure on the certified disks thing though, I guess it depends if the disks they certified are more expensive than the others or not. I use Seagate IronWolfs personally. Are they on the list? I agree with Steven. Synology DSM is miles ahead of the competition, I wouldn't go elsewhere now. The price is justified.
    • Google Cloud announces new Gemini-powered tools to 'increase efficiency' for partners by David Uzondu Google just announced a couple of new AI tools for its Partner Network Hub on Google Cloud, designed to take care of some of the most boring admin work and make things a bit easier for the companies it works with. Putting together a formal Statement of Work can be a tedious process, where every single detail needs to be perfectly aligned with Google Cloud's requirements. The company's new SOW Analyzer, powered by Gemini, tackles this directly. Partners can upload their draft document, and the AI will immediately point out problems like missing clauses or technical goals that are not measurable, even providing examples of how to fix them. In addition to the analyzer, there is a new Bot-Assisted Live Chat. This is an AI agent built into the partner portal that provides 24/7 help with things like onboarding, billing questions, and incentive claims. If the AI cannot solve your problem with billing or rebate claims, it can hand you off to a human agent without making you explain the entire issue from scratch. These two tools are joined by AI-powered updates to the existing Earnings Hub, which is designed to help partners find new growth opportunities by using predictive data to show what services are in demand: The SOW Analyzer and Earnings Hub are available right now for partners in the hub. The Bot-Assisted Live Chat is currently rolling out and is expected to be fully available to all users by next month.
    • Not sure I agree with your particular interpretation of this. An ESU key is still required per device that you have to enter into the device in order to activate ESU. These aren't being given out for free. The linked Microsoft article still states: "If you have paid to enroll your remaining Windows 10 systems in the ESU program..." which seems to confirm this.
    • I swear, whoever is handling the Gundam IP for video games should be fired. How can you go from the gems that were releasing in PS1, PS2 and PS3, to the utter disaster that's today, from the VR game just to be on the hype bandwagon and all the focus on SD. This will probably be studied as one of the worst ways companies mishandle an IP.
