OK, We do not support RollDieDynamic and indeed have never heard of it. However we can try to help out with Python issues. In this case it seems that the problem is not Python related but to do with CMD.EXE on Windows.

I’m not sure what you thought that did, but you basically moved into OneDrive then back out again.

Do you have such a directory on your Desktop?

Does it exist, you may find it easier using the File explorer tool in Windows.

It sounds like you are not familiar with basic use of the command line tools in Windows.
Anything involving programming (in Python or any other language) usually requires good skills at a command line. I’d suggest finding a tutorial on how to use the CMD.EXE command line to navigate and execute programs before you go any further.
If there is a help forum for your package you may find they are better able to advise you since it doesn’t seem to be a Python issue as such, but a package install problem.
