    • For other systems, you can try the following command to upgrade pip:

  2. Verify the upgrade: After running the upgrade command, you can verify the pip upgrade by running the following command in the terminal or SSH session:
pip --version

This command will display the version of pip installed on your system, confirming the upgrade[7].

Please note that the availability and permissions for upgrading pip may depend on your specific hosting environment and server configuration.

It’s always recommended to consult your hosting provider or system administrator if you encounter any issues or have specific requirements.
