Depending on your Python installation and/or OS, you may also need to call Python 3.8 (or later) using

python3 -m pip install tzolkin-calendar

or

python3.8 -m pip install tzolkin-calendar

If neither version works, the right Python executable is not in your PATH.

To upgrade an installed version of tzolkin-calendar to the latest version, add the argument --upgrade.

python -m pip install --upgrade tzolkin-calendar
