gallery-dl rmtree_unsafe error

I have been trying to reinstall gallery-dl again, after it stopped working and I was having a hard time getting pip to properly function/ update. When I try to install using the dev version script, I get this message:

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\V\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-env-bbzocdra\\normal\\Scripts\\wheel.exe'

I've tried updating pip in Python (it, for some reason, doesn't even allow me to install pip, let alone update it), but otherwise I'm unsure if this means gallery-dl is installed correctly, or how to do so if it isn't.

Use a fenced code block instead of a simple code tag, cuz the output is unreadably long without.

Not sure it actually installed anything, but even if it did, you'd still have to use py -m gallery_dl to run it since the install location is not in PATH:

 WARNING: Failed to write executable - trying to use .deleteme logic
 WARNING: The script gallery-dl.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\Vincent Oroscoe\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
 Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

The _rmtree_unsafe error comes from pip during its cleanup process and was caused by some sort of file system permission issue:

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\V\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-env-bbzocdra\\normal\\Scripts\\wheel.exe'

I'm not sure how to get gallery-dl into PATH, as I don't have any coding knowledge. As for the permission issue, I'm not seeing anything concrete on that either.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix, or find what's causing either?

Not sure if it'll allow this new account to link to howtogeek, but they have a good guide, here: https://www.howtogeek.com/787217/how-to-edit-environment-variables-on-windows-10-or-11/ It explains how to add it among other things. Yeah, Microsoft's own site tries to make me log in just to see it so not sure if it explains it any better. Sigh...
