snippsat, I tried your suggestion but got an error after the first line, which is as follows:
Error: need a single repository as argument.
I have two other questions that occurred to me this morning. Originally, I had installed the version of Python that came with Ubuntu 15.04, which is version 3.4. But that version didn't install pip, and I wasn't able to install pip because it couldn't be found. That's why I decided to install a newer version. The reason I chose version 3.7.4 is that the developer of the script that I want to use has version 3.7. However, I couldn't find version 3.7 for Ubuntu, so I had to go with 3.7.4. Anyway, during the installation of version 3.7.4, I remember seeing a lot of messages scroll by that appeared to be errors. But my version inquiry returned the correct version number. So, if I ever do get pip installed but end up having problems running Python, I'm wondering if I'll have to revert back to version 3.4 and, if I do have to do that, will I be able to install pip and click for that version?
My second question pertains to the Windows 10 version of Python 3.7. I read somewhere that the best way to install that version is to do so from the Microsoft Store because it will automatically set up the correct path for running Python from any directory. So, I decided to install that version in place of the version 3.8 that I had previously installed from the Python download page because of the possibility that the reason I couldn't get the script to work is that I had a newer version of Python than was used for creating the script (3.8 vs. 3.7). But when I tried to run the script with version 3.7 for Windows 10, I got the same results that I got with version 3.8. Here's my question. Is it typical for scripts that are created in one OS environment (Linux, for example) to not work properly in another OS environment (Windows 10, for example), or am I not doing something right?
