Try this :

easy_install -U pip

If the above command doesn't work, try the following :

python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pip

This helped me to get the Version but now I am trying to install a local package. I typed this and got this error what should I do?: pip install Gaussian_Package/. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user1\.conda\envs\distributionspackage\Scripts\pip-script.py", line 6, in <module> from pip._internal.cli.main import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.cli.main'
