[lucid vigil]

Result

[gray pulsar]

[opaque musk]

[lucid vigil]

Ow shi

[gray pulsar]

p sure u can get it in linux but basically ye

i love the damn thing tbh

so useful for version management

[lucid vigil]

It worked? Maybe?

[gray pulsar]

it did yes

congrats

now let me explain to u what exactly that command doing

[gray pulsar]

see the lil * here ?

thats ur default python.exe

when u do py -m pip install flask u installing flask to that python in specific

C:\Users\Dagger\aseprite\build>py -0
 -V:3.13 *        Python 3.13 (64-bit)
 -V:3.12          Python 3.12 (64-bit)

in my case if i wanted to install to another one like 3.12 i would do py -3.12 -m pip install flask

[lucid vigil]

ahhh

[gray pulsar]

this is important to note incase u installing to one python and vsc or watever using another completely different one

[lucid vigil]

Okay, so basically using the py -m is telling the program to specifically install on python?

[gray pulsar]

its calling the pip module of that python

so it will do stuff to that specific python

makes sense ?

[lucid vigil]

Makes a lot of sense

Thanks man, I am trying to make a client side website for a school assignment. This really helped. I might post here again very soon, maybe if I found myself stuck again haha (Hopefully I dont)

[gray pulsar]
