Why does pip not install the latest CMake on Ubuntu

Question

As you can see on https://pypi.org/project/cmake/, this is not the latest version. On Windows, it's work as expected. Is it a bug or something?

root@85acafdb63d3 /app# pip3 install cmake

Nope, it's because the default pip version is old. lead to cmake installed a old version. — Geng Jiawen, Oct 14 '19 at 08:20
Yes, I meant the repository version of pip, not cmake. BTW, you haven’t specified your Ubuntu or pip version. — Melebius, Oct 14 '19 at 08:23
I post the env info on the github issue link. Sorry for missing it here. — Geng Jiawen, Oct 15 '19 at 02:06

Turns out the default pip version is old, see https://github.com/scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions/issues/88.

Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! While this answer gives a hint of what to do, it would be better if you [edit]ed it to contain actual instructions to check the version of pip and upgrade it. – Melebius Oct 14 '19 at 08:06
