Also, can't do pip install --upgrade pip
I tried many things like:

• disable IPV6
• delete VPN
  I am out of ideas
  I trying to figure this out for too long - please any help will do!

It's facebook-scraper not "facebook-scrapper", notice the "p".

Besides, update your pip version with py -m pip install --upgrade pip (for Windows users only).
