Hello, recent python user and coder. Just started learning one week ago. I recently installed python and pygame. inputted pip install pygame I got the message

[notice] A new release of pip available: 22.3.1 -> 23.1.2

[notice] To update, run: C:\Users\Brandon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

I am not sure what to do now, for context I downloaded python via the microsoft app store.

This is because it would not properly download on my computer otherwise.

I am not sure what to do now, any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

You can just upgrade pip.
Do a basic check that Path is ok,and point to same place.
I use cmder here,but commands are just same in cmd.

G:\div_code\hex
λ python -V
Python 3.11.3

G:\div_code\hex
λ where python
C:\python311\python.exe

G:\div_code\hex
λ pip -V
pip 22.3.1 from C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.11)

So if ok,can just do this.

G:\div_code\hex
# Don't need whole Path
λ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\python311\lib\site-packages (22.3.1)
