I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to update yt-dlp.

My details are:

Code:
    [debug] Command-line config: ['-v']
    [debug] Encodings: locale UTF-8, fs utf-8, pref UTF-8, out utf-8, error utf-8, screen utf-8
    [debug] yt-dlp version 2023.01.06 [6becd25] (pip)
    [debug] Python 3.11.1 (CPython arm64 64bit) - macOS-13.2.1-arm64-arm-64bit (OpenSSL 1.1.1t  7 Feb 2023)
    [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg 5.1.2 (setts), ffprobe 5.1.2
    [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.16.0, brotli-1.0.9, certifi-2022.12.07, mutagen-1.46.0, sqlite3-2.6.0, websockets-10.4
    [debug] Proxy map: {}
    [debug] Loaded 1760 extractors

If I type python3 --version I get:

Code:
Python 3.9.6

I installed yt-dlp using pip3, so when I try to update with the command "pip3 install --upgrade yt-dlp" I'm getting these messages:

Code:
    Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
    Requirement already satisfied: yt-dlp in ./Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages (2023.2.17)
    Requirement already satisfied: brotli in ./Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages (from yt-dlp) (1.0.9)

    Requirement already satisfied: certifi in ./Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages (from yt-dlp) (2022.12.7)

My pip3 version is:

Code:
pip 23.0.1 from /Users/user/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

I am the only user of the machine and am on the admin account. I tried logging out and back in again and it still won't update. I'm not sure what the problem is, but any help would be most welcome.
