Unable to install ipykernel into this python environment

[DonJayamanne]

I've tried the following commands to install ipykernel into the python env and both fail

vscode ➜ /workspaces/xyz (main) $ /usr/local/bin/python -m pip install -U --user ipykernel
ERROR: Can not combine '--user' and '--target'
WARNING: You are using pip version 22.0.4; however, version 22.3.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the '/usr/local/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Thus anyone using this template for Jupyter or possibly even using for regular python and installing packages could run into issues.
