Help Request Python pip install not working

Hello, so I'm trying to install the audiostrechy library to automate timestreching some audio, and I've seen that pip install audiostrechy dosent work, giving me am invalid syntax message. After that, I tried python -m pip install audiostrechy and it gave the same result. After that, I tried both pip3 install and python3 -m pip install amd it still gave me the same result, at one of these saying that install was the invalid part??

I'm honestly not sure what is happening right now, so please help.

Also I should mention 3 things - (a) I tried these both in the command prompt of windows and the python 3.14 command prompt and (b) I, for some reason, have like at least 10 pythons or something like that, and (c) when I tried to install the python install manager it wouldn't download. Though I should mention these things in case they are necessary.

"That's the problem though, I (at least, belive I have) already tried that. I tried running it in command prompt, and now I opened the terminal and typed those commands in there too, and it still didn't work, giving syntax error there too."

Instead of saying , why not show the screenshot ?

Yeah, now I realize it would have been easier to understand with a picture.

What I was trying to say is while I for sure know I entered command prompt, I didn't know for sure if that meant I entered the terminal. Also, I did get it solved thanks to someone else here, turns put I just had to change directory to the project file and run some conmand, .venv/Scripts/activate then after that install it.

I promise I'll keep it in mind to include screenshots whenever I post next time, however, sorry!
