I would like to help so you can use the tool. But there is only so much technical know-how I can get across. The instructions assume some basic familiarity.
Answering the questions from those who are trying to help you will make the process smoother. For example, you haven’t yet stated which operating system you are using. But it appears you are using Windows.
Unless stated otherwise, any commands listed in the instructions are supposed to be executed in the operating systems command-prompt/terminal. On Windows, that would be cmd.exe. On Mac, it would be the terminal.
You should not run any applications that came with the Python installation. All commands I mentioned earlier should be typed and executed in the command prompt.
Please revisit the documentation and the additional tips I provided above with this in mind.
If the “pip” command is not working in your command prompt, then follow official instructions like the following:
I understand that the process can be frustrating, but I’m sure with some patience you can get it to work. Just break the process into smaller chunks, and tackle each before moving on to the next step.
The first step I would suggest is to make sure you can run Python and PIP commands from the Windows Command Prompt.
A simple way to verify this is to attempt running the following commands in the command prompt:
py --version
… and …
py -m pip --version
You should see something like this:
> py --version
Python 3.N.N
> py -m pip --version
pip X.Y.Z from ... (python 3.N.N)
If these work fine, you can proceed. But use the following command instead for installing “pipx”:
py -m pip install pipx
I hope this helps you.
