Problem with scons installation (I'm asking for help from someone who knows Python)

Good evening.
As in the title, I have a problem with installing scons. I am following (I think) the documentation from https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/ ... ndows.html but I have the error as in the screenshot .
I don't really know which part is wrong.
Attempts to modify the command do nothing.
Does anyone know how to handle this?
What could be incorrect syntax?
Thank you very much for your time.
Have a good night.
Piotr

You need to run that command outside of the Python shell.

In cmd.exe?

Yes, or PowerShell (or even the Run dialog should work).

Thank you very much.
From what I remember, it also failed to install using cmd.exe. I'll check out Powershell in my free time.
Have a nice day.
