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.

    • Maybe, just maybe... and it isn't you... there are some people who like the Windows 11 UI (for whatever reason) and want a better backend.
    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
    • I managed to buy the original Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice through the ps app on my phone even though it was not showing up in the ps store when browsing from my ps5 it was buggy but more or less O.K.ish to play… I wonder if this original added version is funny fixed up for ps5 play
