title: How to update Python pip?
body: <p>I've had to install Python packages and libraries using pip, but every time I do, it says I'm using an older version of pip, and that v18.1 is available by running the command </p>
  
  <p><code>python -m pip install --upgrade pip</code> </p>
  
  <p>When I run this command, it just says the same thing. It apparently can't update itself because it's outdated. Is there any way to get around this, maybe by manually updating it? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, community!</p>
  
  <p>Update: The OS I'm using is currently Windows 10 and Python 3.6.4. The following screenshot is what outputs when running the command.</p>
