How to update/upgrade a package using pip?
PythonPipPython Problem Overview
What is the way to update a package using pip? those do not work:
pip update
pip upgrade
I know this is a simple question but it is needed as it is not so easy to find (pip documentation doesn't pop up and other questions from stack overflow are relevant but are not exactly about that)
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
The way is
pip install <package_name> --upgrade
or in short
pip install <package_name> -U
Using sudo will ask to enter your root password to confirm the action, but although common, is considered unsafe.
If you do not have a root password (if you are not the admin) you should probably work with virtualenv.
You can also use the user flag to install it on this user only.
pip install <package_name> --upgrade --user
Solution 2 - Python
For a non-specific package and a more general solution, you can check out pip-review. A tool that checks what packages could/should be updated.
To install:
$ pip install pip-review
Then run:
$ pip-review --interactive
requests==0.14.0 is available (you have 0.13.2)

Solution 3 - Python
use this code in teminal :
python -m pip install --upgrade PAKAGE_NAME #instead of PAKAGE_NAME
for example i want update pip pakage :
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
more example :
python -m pip install --upgrade selenium
python -m pip install --upgrade requests
...
Solution 4 - Python
tl;dr script to update all installed packages
If you only want to upgrade one package, refer to @borgr's answer. I often find it necessary, or at least pleasing, to upgrade all my packages at once. Currently, pip doesn't natively support that action, but with sh scripting it is simple enough. You use pip list, awk (or cut and tail), and command substitution. My normal one-liner is:
for i in $(pip list -o | awk 'NR > 2 {print $1}'); do sudo pip install -U $i; done
This will ask for the root password. If you do not have access to that, the --user option of pip or virtualenv may be something to look into.
Solution 5 - Python
import subprocess as sbp
import pip
pkgs = eval(str(sbp.run("pip3 list -o --format=json", shell=True,
stdout=sbp.PIPE).stdout, encoding='utf-8'))
for pkg in pkgs:
sbp.run("pip3 install --upgrade " + pkg['name'], shell=True)
> Save as xx.py
> Then run Python3 xx.py
> Environment: python3.5+ pip10.0+
Solution 6 - Python
While off-topic, one may reach this question wishing to update pip itself (See here).
To upgrade pip for Python3.4+, you must use pip3 as follows:
sudo pip3 install pip --upgrade
This will upgrade pip located at: /usr/local/lib/python3.X/dist-packages
Otherwise, to upgrade pip for Python2.7, you would use pip as follows:
sudo pip install pip --upgrade
This will upgrade pip located at: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Solution 7 - Python
I use the following line to update all of my outdated packages:
pip list --outdated --format=freeze | awk -F '==' '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 pip install -U
Solution 8 - Python
Execute the below command in your command prompt,
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Output will be like below,
Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\users\owner\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (21.2.4)
