Installation Home Assistant OS

I am seeing this warning when running the Check Home Assistant configuration 2.2 add for Hassio.

WARNING: You are using pip version 19.1.1, however version 19.2.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

When i went to the console using VScode i see this error when running this command

You don’t update stuff in a docker container. You wait for the developers to update it if it’s even necessary. Just because you see that an update is available doesn’t mean it’s required.

I did a full rebuild after a crash and install HA in Docker. Also get this error. Maybe we don’t care abut it. PIP is just for install things… :wink:

Ya but if you don’t update pip it prevent from installing dev package to test. I’m using custom deps deployment add-on to test new release before they are pushed to HA. But each time I try to install new release it stop at the pip version check. So we need to be able to update pip
