So I'm working on raspberry pi 4 for the first time and it's my first time working with Linux and python. For the project I'm working I need to download many different things and every tutorial uses the pip command.
the problem
When I go to use the pip command I get a bunch of shit about APT and I've tried so many different things to fix this such as installing pip through apt commands. I also get a bunch of errors saying install is not defined
I'm just lost and I have many other questions but I want to solve one problem at a time and this seems to be my biggest issue at the moment anyone have any pointers?

Which command did you try to install pip with?
herojesse
Something along the lines of
sudo apt install python-pip
It just told me I already had installed then I went to use and it still didn't work
I got same message I did yesterday just saying it's already at its newest version
thunder07337
pip --version
?
herojesse
Pip 23.0.1
thunder07337
python --version
?

3.11.2

I've done this with things other than opencv as well (sorry not a screenshot I'm not sure how to do that yet)

I've also tried the command it tells me to use I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but it usually doesn't work just says the thing I'm trying to install doesn't exist or something else I can't remember off the top of my head

Yes, pip works differently. As I don't use it personally, I would advise you to visit the recommended website and find out how to do it properly.
