Description of the issue(s)

Current Python versions doesn't allow to run pip install xxxxxxx in your terminal to avoid any conflict installing packages globally. They new way is to create an environment where you can install that packages for your project.

*I added only this page for this issue, but I'm not sure if there are more pages with that command.

according to the readme in https://github.com/dhtdht020/osc-dl :

Make sure Python 3 is installed and used.

this is also displayed on the guide.

Even with it installed, this is correct. The instructions need to be updated to include creating a venv.

Indeed, and what I was asking is to add the new steps after the install of Python 3 to create a virtual environment. Something like:

To install the Python libraries in the "osc-dl" virtual environment create a new one typing:

python3 -m venv --system-site-packages $HOME/.virtualenvs/osc-dl

After creation, it has to be activated:

source ~/.virtualenvs/osc-dl/bin/activate

And now you can proceed with the installation of the required libraries:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

At least this worked for me in Linux Mint. Not sure for macOS if it is the same way to proceed.

@idotj id probably address this issue on the oscdl repository.

Sorry, I don't get it.
Isn't this repo where the guide content is managed? This file I found contains the text I mentioned that should be updated to help users:

https://github.com/hacks-guide/Guide_Wii/blob/master/docs/osc.md

I didn't find any other repo for oscdl.

Yes but if this is an installation issue then it needs to be addressed on the official GitHub repository for OSCDL https://github.com/dhtdht020/osc-dl

Thanks for pointing the repo, but in that case it will be needed in both places.

I will also open an issue:
dhtdht020/osc-dl#127
