You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

 

在Mac下使用pip更新一个Python库时提示pip版本过低，底部命令行中显示需要升级，升级命令为：You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

安装给出的命令输入：pip install --upgrade pip；结果执行后，还是报同样的错误。

重试N次后，发现还是执行失败。

最后上网查找后，才发现是权限问题，修改执行命令为：sudo pip install --upgrade pip  

结果执行成功啦，普天同庆哦~
