So a lot of people in the iphone 13 pro availability megathread seem to be using this script to keep up to date with availability

I have never used python before and i was wondering if someone who has had success can help me with an issue. So the first step in the guide in the link says to get python 3.6. i installed it (i am on big sur intel macbook pro). then it says pip install -r requirements.txt.
this is where my problems start. where do i input this command? i guessed Terminal since the only thing i can launch for python on mac is Python launcher which isnt a command line prompt.
so i type the command pip install -r requirements.txt into terminal and i get Syntax Error: invalid syntax ( also tried this on windows too).
what am i supposed to do? im literally following instructions to a T so far.
