Upgrade pip as follows   curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   python   Note  You may need to use sudo python above if not in a virtual environment    Note that upgrading pip using pip i e pip install --upgrade pip will also not upgrade it correctly  It s just a chicken-and-egg issue  pip won t work unless using TLS    1 2    As mentioned in this detailed answer  this is due to the recent TLS deprecation for pip  Python org sites have stopped support for TLS versions 1 0 and 1 1   From the Python status page      Completed - The rolling brownouts are finished  and TLSv1 0 and   TLSv1 1 have been disabled  Apr 11  15 37 UTC    For PyCharm  virtualenv  users    Run virtual environment with shell   replace    venv bin activate  to your own path   source   venv bin activate  Run upgrade  curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   python  Restart your PyCharm instance  and check your Python interpreter in Preference

To upgrade the local version I used a slight variant   curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   python - --user   This problem arises if you keep your pip and packages under your home directory as described in this gist

But if the curl command itself fails with error  or  tlsv1 alert protocol version  persists even after upgrading pip  it means your operating system s underlying OpenSSL library version lt 1 0 1 or Python version lt 2 7 9  or  lt 3 4 in Python 3  do not support the newer TLS 1 2 protocol that pip needs to connect to PyPI since about a year ago  You can easily check it in Python interpreter      gt  gt  gt  import ssl  gt  gt  gt  ssl OPENSSL VERSION  OpenSSL 0 9 8o 01 Jun 2010   gt  gt  gt  ssl PROTOCOL TLSv1 2  AttributeError   module  object has no attribute  PROTOCOL TLSv1 2    The AttributeError  instead of expected  5   means your Python stdlib ssl module  compiled against old openssl lib  is lacking support for the TLSv1 2 protocol  even if the openssl library can or could be updated later    Fortunately  it can be solved without upgrading Python  and the whole system   by manually installing extra Python packages -- the detailed step-by-step guide is available here on Stackoverflow      Note  curl and pip and wget all depend on the same OpenSSL lib for establishing SSL connections  use   openssl version command   libcurl supports TLS 1 2 since curl version 7 34  but older curl versions should be able to connect if you had OpenSSL version 1 0 2  or later              P S    For Python 3  please use python3 and pip3 everywhere  unless you are in a venv virtualenv   including the curl command from above      curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   python3 --user

Following  Anupam s answer on OS X resulted in the following error for me  regardless of permissions I ran it with      Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError   Errno 13  Permission denied        What eventually worked was to download a newer pip package  9 0 3  from PyPI directly from my browser - https   pypi org simple pip   extract the contents  and then pip install the package locally   pip install   pip-9 0 3    This fixed my  SSL  TLSV1 ALERT PROTOCOL VERSION  errors

I ran into this problem as well  The underlying problem is that the ssl library in Python 2 7 versions  lt  2 7 9 is no longer compatible with the pip mechanism   If you are running on Windows  and you  like us  can t easily upgrade from an incompatible version of 2 7  FWIW  I found that if you copy the following files from another install of the latest version of Python  e g  Python 2 7 15  on another machine to your installation       Lib ssl py     libs  ssl lib     DLLs  ssl dll   it will effectively  upgrade  your SSL layer to one which is supported  we were then be able to use pip again  even to upgrade pip

Check your TLS version   python2 -c  import urllib2 json  print json loads urllib2 urlopen  https   www howsmyssl com a check   read     tls version       If your TLS version is less than 1 2 you have to upgrade it since the PyPI repository is on a brownout period of deprecating early TLS   Source - Time To Upgrade Your Python  TLS v1 2 Will Soon Be Mandatory  You can upgrade the TLS version using the following command   sudo apt-get update  amp  amp  sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev   This should fix your problem  Good luck   EDIT   You can download packages using your own private python package repository regardless of TLS version   Private Python Package Repository
