Cannot update or install anything with pip, SSL error - nickystixx45 - Sep-04-2018
Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on here and I really need help with this problem. I've had Python and pip on my PC since I got it about a year ago and never really used pip that much until recently. I'm working on a project with my friend in PyCharm and I need to install some requirements for this project but every time I try to install them or do anything with pip I get this message:

It doesn't matter what I try to do with pip, the SSL error comes up every time. I can't even update or upgrade it. Yesterday I uninstalled my older versions of Python and downloaded 3.7 and 3.6.6 and downloaded pip with them, it did nothing. I have tried every solution I could find and nothing works. I don't know what happened or why pip isn't working correctly. If you have something I can try I would greatly appreciate it!

Try:
python -m pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org --upgrade pipBug report.
Quote:It appears the issue is a corporate proxy/firewall/mitm-box is not allowing traffic to pypi.org and/or files.pythonhosted.org.
Not related but our install tutorial.

Thanks for the response. I tried that and this is what it said:

You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Run cmd as Administrator.

Running cmd as admin did upgrade pip to version 18.0 but I still get the same ssl error when I try to install anything with pip, admin or not.

Did you ever resolve?

Yes. Whenever I need to install or update something I have to put: pip install --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org --user {name of whatever I'm installing}
I found this solution here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5363
