I am trying to install tensorflow to python3 with virtualenv, following the instructions on this webpage. I am using Mac Sierra, and both python2.7 and python3.5 are on my machine. https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_mac#installing_with_virtualenv
Using this method worked fine for python2.7, but failed for python3.5. The following is the error message I issued pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow.

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Any help would be appreciated.
