pip install requirement fails

I am facing an issue while trying to install the requirements for my django project.

I am unable to figure out why I'm getting this error.

Can someone lead me in the right direction?

Why pip install is not working?

A “pip: command not found” error occurs when you fail to properly install the package installer for Python (pip) needed to run Python on your computer. To fix it, you will either need to re-install Python and check the box to add Python to your PATH or install pip on your command line.

Does Python 3.10 support pip?

The current version of pip works on: Windows, Linux and MacOS. CPython 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and latest PyPy3.

What does ~= mean in pip install?

~= means a compatible version. Not less than 0.6.

I ran into this same error while using the native Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 to install django-imagekit. Some googling revealed this:

https://github.com/jezdez/django_compressor/issues/181

which suggested this:

pip install versiontools

and then I was able to install django-imagekit.
