I am going through "Automate the Boring Stuff" and I am using Mu as a text editor. I am trying to install a particular package called pyperclip.
Since Mu has its own Python environment, I am trying to install pyperclip into its /pkgs folder. I encounter the following error:
PS C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Mu\pkgs> pip install pyperclip --target "C:\Program Files\Mu\pkgs"
ERROR: Can not combine '--user' and '--target'
I have looked around on GitHub and previous posts on learnpython and I have not found similar troubles.
My major confusion is that it says I cannot combine --user but I did not type --user.
I have a feeling the solution is elementary, but I am learning python and how to work with terminals, so I would appreciate someone teaching me what I am doing wrong.
I found this question, whose solution is to reinstall Python from the website, not from the Microsoft app store, but I am pretty sure I downloaed Python from the website. Should I re-download or would that cause more complication?
