[SOLVED] pip install spacy errors with Python 3.13

I'm new to Python and I was given this code by my professor which includes "import spacy" and when I run the code I get the line: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spacy'
That's where I got stuck I tried pip install spacy and many other commands in VS Code terminal but nothing works. I've tried some solutions shared on stackoverflow but none of them work and they all give similar errors. I have the latest version of python installed (3.13.3)
When I run pip install spacy I get this:
$ pip install spacy
