[bug\_fix] pip's dependency resolver error: 'pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed'

Use \`pip install --upgrade pip\` to get the latest resolver, then try \`pip install \` with explicit version constraints, or use \`pip check\` to identify conflicts.

Journey Context:
A developer runs \`pip install somepackage\` and gets a long error message about dependency conflicts. The new pip resolver \(since 20.3\) is stricter and reports incompatible version requirements. The developer initially tries to ignore the conflict with \`--no-deps\`, but that breaks runtime. After reading the pip documentation, they upgrade pip to the latest version, then create a clean virtual environment and install the package with \`pip install somepackage==X.Y\` to match the dependency tree. They also use \`pip install -r requirements.txt\` to ensure all dependencies are consistent.
