Python 3.9/3.8 and pip installation under Windows

[metulburr]

Would like to add some things.


A lot of people come unfamiliar with using the command prompt and are confused in thinking pip is ran on the python interpreter (ie. >>> prompt), but is ran on the system's command prompt (ie. windows C:\ prompt, linux username@computername ~$).


Also your pip may be out of date.

pip : You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

This is just a warning. Your package will still install, but it is just warning you that your pip is not current. You can update pip by the command they give you pip install --upgrade pip


You can use pip to upgrade your existing packages

pip install -U youtube-dl
