Failed to upgrade plotly using pip

Question

I'm trying to upgrade plotly which is right now at 2.0.7 and mine is 1.3 using the following:

pip install plotly --upgrade

But I'm having this error:

Installing collected packages:
 Found existing installation: plotly 1.3.1
Cannot uninstall 'plotly'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Like the error message says, pip cannot upgrade an install which was made by a tool which isn't pip. Upgrade using distutils or maybe use e.g. virtualenv to install a separate version which is independent from any system-wide install for your current project. — tripleee

I solved the problem.

First of all I uninstall plotly using pip:

pip uninstall plotly

Then using conda:

conda uninstall plotly

After that, I installed the last version using pip:

pip install plotly

I checked Plotly version:

import plotly
plotly.__version__

which is right now 3.0.0
