guys can anyone help me out please

I get the same error trying to install myself. Using Windows 10 , installed Python 3.10.2 using Chocolatey

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> gym-retro

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

You have to downgrade the version of pyhton, actually gym-retro module does not have support to pyhton 3.10 or 3.9, https://pypi.org/project/gym-retro/ is just for python 3.8, 3.7 and 3.6, maybe you could use a virtualenv.

[Tom-Neverwinter]

pip install virtualenv then python<version> -m venv <virtual-environment-name> so python3.8 -m gymretro

pip install virtualenv
mkdir gymretro
cd gymretro
virtualenv env
env\Scripts\activate

a break down is roughly:

Setting Up a Python Virtual Environment using virtualenv
Install virtualenv:
virtualenv is a third-party package to create virtual environments. To install it, run:

pip install virtualenv
Create a New Directory for Your Project:
For this example, we'll name it gymretro:

mkdir gymretro
Navigate to Your Project Directory:

cd gymretro
Create a Virtual Environment using virtualenv:
This command will create a virtual environment named env within your project directory:

virtualenv env
Activate the Virtual Environment:

On Windows, run:
env\Scripts\activate

kind of a mess going through this myself now
