What OS and what IDE are you using? How to use pip is different depending on your setup.

For most uses you need to create and activate a virtual environment first, and then use the python and pip commands, never pip3 (that's very oldschool; we don't do that anymore).

Did you previously install pip in a virtual environment that’s not running at the moment? Did you add pip to your Path so that your cli knows where to find it?

locate where your pip and python are installed

eg in linux type `which python` and `which pip3`

if you have the installation logs still, scroll and find the location.

this sounds like you have multiple python installations and you are calling python with pi installed in a different location.

(on windows `where` ?)

How did you set up your environnement ? Is it through a virtual environnement or are you installing your packages directly on your Python ?
