Newbie Troubles upgrading pip

ptahx · 12-26-2016, 11:03 PM

I am running Ubuntu 16.10 with Anaconda installed and am attempting to update pip using the command line

Quote:

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

which doesn't seem to work at all .

I have also tried

Quote:

pip install --upgrade pip

(output below).

beyond that I have tried in an attempt to change the permissions on that directory.

Quote:

sudo find /home/ptahx/anaconda3 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

I'm at a loss as to what to attempt next, I've tried reading up on it but haven't had much luck beyond what I have listed above. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Ok I'm still attempting to figure this one out,

I have since removed the directory

Quote:

rm -rf ~/anaconda.

used apt to install pip & pip3

Quote:

sudo apt install python3-pip

then reinstalled anaconda (added to path as well) interestingly enough it now made a separate directory called /home/conda instead of /home/anaconda

Quote:

bash Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

result still hasn't corrected the permissions issue, it still won't update tot he 9.0.1 as listed below. Thank you for your help - back to my fuddling
