I followed your installation procedure. But two problems arise. I could not create a profile with data science, and it failed to detect the kernel. Can you help me with that?

I have install python with this way (brew install python). Can I install packages with out creating .venv ? because I don't want to put all of my python files in that directory mostly in my one drive. I have tried to install by using "pip3 install" in the Terminal but it's not work.
