Thank you so much.

I have Anaconda installed in my Windows machine. I do not know how to upgrade python in my Linux machine. Can I do all this in Anaconda, perhaps in a Jupyter notebook? Or maybe you can give some guidance on how to upgrade python in my linux mint installation. I have tried different ways, with no luck. I do not even remember what I did, but I tried. Same thing with pip. I recieve messages that I have an old version, 8.1.1, but when I do as the message says to upgrade to 9.0.1, I receive a message that the system is already up to date.
