I am not able to install any external python module through pip install. I have installed python correctly but if I use pip_install it shows me this error.
Here is the code after I run the pip install pytesseract
C:\Users\190560>pip install pytesseract
Collecting pytesseract

How do I solve this problem??
I can partially solve the problem by using this command
pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org <package_name>
but I cannot find any pip.ini folder on my computer as suggested by this question here
Any suggestions to fix this problem permanently??

Once I struggled a lot for 3 days ,Nothing worked then I found this solution.
Possible solution is to instruct Python to use your Windows Certificate Store instead of the built-in store in the certifi package. You can do that by installing python-certifi-win32:
pip install python-certifi-win32
Then python will going to be use the same certificates as your browsers do.

On Windows, if using a proxy, temporarily disable it in Control Panel - Internet Options - Connection - LAN settings.
Or permanently bypass proxy (also there in LAN settings) for pypi.org;files.pythonhosted.org

I had a similar problem and found out to be related to the network IPv6 address. I do not know why. What solved my problem was to disable the IPv6. You can find how to do it here for Windows and MacOS X.

I have experienced similar issues when I am in a corporate network where a proxy is required for external network access. In this case, we'll have to tell pip the proxy:
pip --proxy=http://your.corporate.proxy.com install pytesseract
Another possible cause is due to the pypi domain change. In this case, you can try the solution as below:
pip --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org install pytesseract
Another similar case with an excellent answer: pip always fails ssl verification
