Hey, I'm trying to install dotenv package in my virtual environment using pip but I got this error:

warnings.warn(
        error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I looked online and tried their suggested solution but didn't work. Also, this is the output of pip list:

pip is for the python dotenv. Try installing here or here (if you need .env.vault support)
