I can't download libraries on my pi pico

I am following along with there YouTube tutorials. I am at importing libraries chapter 2.8. Every time I try to down load the library “micropython servo” a error pops up that says.

(install --progress-bar off micropython-servo problem in the back-end: exception while handling ‘install_distributions’ (assertionsErrer). see thonny’s backend.log for more info. you may need to press “stop/restart” or hard-reset your
process ended with exit code 1.

after I close out of that tab another one pops up that says this.

Hi @austin279880, Welcome to the forums!!!

Could you please let us know which version of Thonny you are using?

It appears some users have issues depending on the version they have installed. Thonny 4.1.3 was the latest release with this issue that you are facing.

You can check the version under Help > About Thonny in the toolbar.

I had a different error with the package manager in version 3.3.4 that made me realise how out of date Thorny was on my computer…
