@notatallshaw This is a little off-topic, but Python Discord has migrated to a single #python-help forum channel (instead of our custom rotating #help-* channel set up).

You need to provide your original command you ran to get that error, and any custom pip configuration you have given, for anyone to be able to assist. Preferably as text, not a screenshot.

Further, this likely isn't a pip issue, and instead a misunderstanding of the installation requirements, you might be best served by reaching out to peers or help forums, such as Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #help-* channels, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.

It's likely that you have two Python installations installed on your system and python -m pip and pip are invoking different installs of pip. You can run pip with the --version flag to see where it comes from. Either way, I'd recommend invoking pip in the same way you run your Python programs, consistently.

For the Cannot set --home and --prefix together error, please see #11129.
