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.

    • Is it though?  I built a new rig a few months ago and it was literally impossible to get one without RGB, but within 10 minutes of setting it up, I turned all that crap off.  It was REALLY distracting, and who needs additional heat INSIDE a PC? It's popular on YouTube for sure, it's neat looking and whatnot, but it's about as practical as a coffee cup with a hole in it. As for the price, a non-enthusiast would just see something priced way above what they can get from a retailer brand new...
