I saw the large number of posts already posted; however, none of them quite have this same error. So I wanted to re-post this. I am running the following command: pip3 install --upgrade pip

I get the following error:

I have python3.4 and I am trying to run this command from bash on windows. The end goal is to download Jupyter.

Try sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

The last line in the error log clearly says that it is an issue of inadequate permissions. PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pip'
