How to update Python pip?

Question

I've had to install Python packages and libraries using pip, but every time I do, it says I'm using an older version of pip, and that v18.1 is available by running the command

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

When I run this command, it just says the same thing. It apparently can't update itself because it's outdated. Is there any way to get around this, maybe by manually updating it?

Thanks in advance, community!

Update: The OS I'm using is currently Windows 10 and Python 3.6.4. The following screenshot is what outputs when running the command.

Answer 1

On Windows:

python -m pip install -U pip

Answer 2

Try with "python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user" It worked with me and I am with Win10.
