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.

    • Mistral AI's new 'Magistral' models bring traceable, faster AI reasoning by Paul Hill One of Europe’s leading AI companies, Mistral, has announced the availability of its Magistral reasoning model. It comes in two versions: there is the open-source Magistral Small (24B parameters) and the enterprise-focused Magistral Medium. Magistral has been designed to better handle domain-specific tasks such as law, finance, and engineering. It shows users the model’s thought processes so that it’s more transparent, and it supports multilingual reasoning to perform better when tasked with answering non-English queries. Key features and performance Mistral compared its new models against DeepSeek R1 in various benchmarks. Ones that stood out were its results on AIME2024, which assesses reasoning capabilities. Magistral Medium scored 73.6% (90% with majority voting @64) while Small scored 70.7% (83.3% respectively). If you’ve used DeepSeek R1, you’ll have seen it thinking before answering. Magistral now does this too and can do it across multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Interestingly, there’s also a Flash Answers mode that speeds up the thinking for 10x faster responses compared to competitors. Real-world applications and availability Thanks to the expertise Magistral has been trained on, organizations across multiple fields, including legal research, financial forecasting, and regulated industries, may be able to turn to Magistral for more reliable answers. Its traceable reasoning also makes it ideal in regulated fields for compliance and auditability. Magistral Small, the open-source model, is available under an Apache 2.0 license via Hugging Face. Magistral Medium is accessible through Mistral's Le Chat and via API on La Plateforme. It’ll also be arriving soon on Amazon SageMaker, IBM WatsonX, Azure AI, and Google Cloud Marketplace. The easiest way for readers to try it out is on Mistral's Le Chat platform; just head to chat.mistral.ai to get started. Source: Mistral
    • Didn't know this thanks, useful.
    • I had to check your comment history to see what you were referring to here. One word... Wow! I asked him myself. LOL
    • Why do you care? Is he your uncle or something? LOL Oh no! Someone made a remark about your favorite blogger you read everyday so you are personally offended.
    • I've been on the 16 beta, since beta 1, and just received the QPR beta 2 today. Nova launcher and no issues. I noticed that two about lack of updates.
