How Do I Upgrade Pip on Mac?

pip3 install --upgrade pip

this works for me!

Try this

pip install --upgrade pip==19.2.3

Hope this will help you.

I have found an answer that worked for me: sudo pip3 install -U pip --ignore-installed pip

This installed pip version 19.2.3 correctly.

It was very hard to find the correct command on the internet...glad I can share it now.

Thanks.

If you want to upgrade to the latest pip version (as of this writing pip-21.2.4) and you are using mac, do the following:

Open your terminal, on your main folder and type:

$ pip3 -V 

This will give you the version you have installed

Then type:

$ pip3 install --upgrade pip

Or

$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

The latest if you need to input your password

try:

sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

I came on here to figure out the same thing but none of this things seemed to work. so I went back and looked how they were telling me to upgrade it but I still did not get it. So I just started trying things and next thing you know I seen the downloading lines and it told me that my pip was upgraded. what I used was (pip3 install -- upgrade pip). I hope this can help anyone else in need.

Make sure you have pip installed in the first place. Refer to to install pip.

For MAC with M1 :

pip3 install --upgrade pip

If you want to install specific version:

pip3 install --upgrade pip==21.1.1

After pip == version_number should be entered
