Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

you dont have pip itself installed

need to install it first

doesnt it come with python

no

When in doubt, try py.

[toxic jay]

ok lol

wait a sec

And if that works, then you can do py -m pip and work with pip that way. You can also go back to the installer and add pip to PATH that way, but py is pretty neat.

ive defo used pip before

idk why its not working

[ashen bone]

close, you're missing the -m

so py -m and then the rest

[toxic jay]

[hasty plank]
