installing easyocr without pip upgrade

[deepakttwo]

I want to install the easyocr without upgrading pip due to some limitations. so, when I do it I get the below error

from pip._internal.exceptions import InvalidSchemeCombination, UserInstallationInvalid ImportError: cannot import name 'InvalidSchemeCombination' from 'pip._internal.exceptions' (C:\Tools\Squish\python3\lib\site-packages\pip_internal\exceptions.py)

This has nothing to do with easyocr. Probably an issue with pip itself: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67273590/pip-21-1-cant-import-invalidschemecombination https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67446140/importerror-cannot-import-name-invalidschemecombination-from-pip-internal-e/67508273
