Hi i’m new to circleci and have some difficulties to setup it up

Here’s my config.yml

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.6.4
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: pip3 install nox==2021.6.12
      - run: nox
workflows:
  version: 2
  commit_workflow:
    jobs:
      - build

on the installing step i get the following error:

Installing collected packages: py, typing-extensions, zipp, importlib-metadata, pyparsing, packaging, argcomplete, colorlog, nox

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 21.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Can you help please thank you

You’re trying to install nox into the system. You can either install using --user (probably preferred) or you can resort to sudo pip install …

$ circleci local execute --job build
…
====>> export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH; type nox; nox --version
  #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH; type nox; nox --version
nox is /home/circleci/.local/bin/nox
2021.6.12
Success!

$ circleci local execute --job build_with_sudo
…
====>> type nox; nox --version
  #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
type nox; nox --version
nox is /usr/local/bin/nox
2021.6.12
Success!

The above were executed with the following config:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.6.4
    steps:
      - run: pip3 install --user nox==2021.6.12
      - run: export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH; type nox; nox --version
  build_with_sudo:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.6.4
    steps:
      - run: sudo pip3 install nox==2021.6.12
      - run: type nox; nox --version
