I just installed DVC, was starting the tutorial and got an error:

dvc init -f  
ERROR: unexpected error - dlopen(/usr/local/lib/dvc/\_internal/lib-dynload/\_ssl.

Try use uv for your project. You can install with pip install uv, after run uv init and uv add dvc. Now, you might run commands dvc with insolation environment.
