Installing .whl files with Python on Windows 10 - please help - Just give me a GUI for retards, goddamn it

[Hentai-Semitism]

I have Python 3.10.11 installed. It's in AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310. Pip seems to be installed - it's in Lib\site-packages\pip
I want to install this: https://github.com/devine-dl/devine/releases

I know absulutely nothing about Python. I tried all kinds of commands, tried to put the .whl file in different locations, I even tried to fuck with CWindows\py.exe

No dice. Can someone tell me how to do it step by step? I'm very confused.

Open command line from folder where .whl is, then use this command:

pip install devine-3.3.3-py3-none-any.whl

Open command line from folder where .whl is, then use this command:

pip install devine-3.3.3-py3-none-any.whl

The .whl is in the folder with python.exe. I used CMD both with and without admin privileges.

'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

cd to the folder and do:
python -m pip install devine-3.3.3-py3-none-any.whl

It downloaded and installed a lot of files, so I guess it worked. Thanks! How does that work? Did it use the local file AND online updates?

I would've never figured that out! Although it made me realize that I can just put the .whl in the Scripts folder, where pip.exe is located and run the CMD command there. I did that after using previous poster's method, though. See below (replaced my username with "ass" for privacy):

Dependencies aren't included in the wheel so python pulls them from pypi, that's what you saw being downloaded
You probably unticked "add to PATH" during Python's install btw, not a big deal since you can readd the paths as said earlier

You can answer and troubleshoot like 99% of minor problems like these using chatgpt and comparable AI models. Just tell it what OS you're using and what you're trying to do and it will be able to tell you shit step by step

I installed it a while ago and never really used it, so it's possible that I didn't tick something.
So Pypi is sort of an update server and you use command line to download the things you need? Cool.
I rarely use software with no GUI. I use N_m3u8DL-RE for downloading video streams. I also know that Massgrave is now the go-to method of authenticating Microsoft products, but that's pretty much just a single command in Powershell.
