‘pip’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

All this stuff says beginner level. All the videos on youtube the guys plug the device in and it pops up on their screen whether pc or mac. I’ve done all this on 3 different computers, both pc and mac, and plugged in brand new 2 different model microcontrollers. I’ve bought a new cable that was a 90 minute drive away plus $20 for the cable, the label said 10Gbps which ws the fastest speed capable data cable they had. There are umpteen tutorials on this and not a single one matches my experience irl. I can’t imagine these things don’t work reliably or there wouldn’t be aisles of components for them at the store. But this is frustrating….even the mfg website says the devices will be supported by Arduinio IDE but the devices are not listed in the menu, nothing even close in name. It also tells me try MU so I’ve installed MU on all 3 computers but same story, devices dont’ register and the app says no device connected.

They say this device I have qt py esp32-c3 was only released to the market a couple months ago, am I foolish for thinking there would be support available for it? My other device is a trinket 5v which there wont be new firmware for anymore but that one my device manager at least calls it a trinket but the drivers arent’ correct, theres a yellow triangle on the icon. I downloaded every driver I could find for the other trinket MO because I can’t even find drivers for the trinket 5v but windows says the best driver is currently installed. I would rather use the qt py anyway

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
