I am installing pandas new version 1.0.3 using below command pip3 install pandas.

But I am getting below error

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 20.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I have tried installing pandas from below command

apt-get install python3-pandas

This commands work But it installs the old version of pandas.

I am using python 3.5 version and wanted to install latest version of pandas 1.0.3

Your error says you need to upgrade your pip:

pip install --upgrade pip

Or you could also try:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Then pip3 -V should show you correct version it mentioned about.

Then try installing pandas using pip3 install pandas

On 19.10 it installs the latest version, but on 16.04 it installs older version. I think, it's because of newer versions of pandas do not support python 3.5:

Python version support
Officially Python 3.6.1 and above, 3.7, and 3.8

Pandas 1.0.3 requires python 3.6.1 or above. So you would have to upgrade python first. I would look to see if switching to a higher version of python is an option, otherwise, you can only use pandas 0.25 on python 3.5.
