Why is pip throwing an error in the console?

Question

Command line

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files (x86)\\python38-32\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-19.2.3. dist-info\\entry_points.txt'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 20.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

My problem was solved by opening the command prompt as administrator.
