Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Here is a picture of what I put into the command line

if you *do* want to update pip, open Windows ® `CMD.EXE` in administrator mode and give the command it gave you `python -m pip install --upgrade pip` — chickity china chinese chicken, Mar 12 '19 at 05:06

You do not need to upgrade pip to install tensorflow. Although if you still wish to do so you can try this

pip install --user --upgrade pip

Else try running the CMD as Admin
