Pip install pyserial not working

Hi,
Thank you for reading.
I’m new on Phyton. I’ve downloaded Python on Microsoft store. I’ve got the version 3.10.
I’ve tried to install pyserial but this is what i got:


pip is installed and seems to be working but install is not recognized.
I’ve tried “pip3 install pyserial” with the same result.

What did I do wrong??
Thank you for your help.

Don’t post screenshots of text.

You should run pip directly on the cmd / powershell prompt, not within the Python REPL.

it’s working now.
I don’t really understand why I should not put sreenshots of text but it’s well noted and I will not do it again.
Thank you again for your help.
Wish you a beautiful day

A couple of reasons are:

  1. Accessibility. Someone who is visually impaired may not be able to see the text in the screenshot, nor can their screen reader parse it.
  2. Some people view the forum in mailing list mode. Pictures are not included in this mode, so they will not see your screenshot.

I understand, it makes sense. thank you for this info.
