The way is pip install  package name  --upgrade  or in short pip install  package name  -U  Using sudo will ask to enter your root password to confirm the action  but although common  is considered unsafe  If you do not have a root password  if you are not the admin  you should probably work with virtualenv  You can also use the user flag to install it on this user only  pip install  package name  --upgrade --user

tl dr script to update all installed packages  If you only want to upgrade one package  refer to  borgr s answer  I often find it necessary  or at least pleasing  to upgrade all my packages at once  Currently  pip doesn t natively support that action  but with sh scripting it is simple enough  You use pip list  awk  or cut and tail   and command substitution  My normal one-liner is   for i in   pip list -o   awk  NR  gt  2  print  1     do sudo pip install -U  i  done   This will ask for the root password  If you do not have access to that  the --user option of pip or virtualenv may be something to look into
