Why does "pip install" inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
(7 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
trying to use pip to install a library is getting me a syntax error . i tried everything on the internet , the only way to install a module using pip is an answer i found here: Why does "pip install" inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
which states:
import pip
package_name='selenium'
pip.main(['install', package_name])
is there a way to fix pip here so that i use the normal syntax like:
pip install somemodule
Some other answers where about changing the environment variables however they did not specify how to do that on Windows 7
You can use the windwos shell (cmd.exe) to install selenium using pip.
Search the directory of your python installation, inside it is a folder called scripts. Open it and in scripts hold shift and right-click. Now you get a context menu where you can choose open console in this folder (or something similar, my windows is not english).
If you have your windows shell in scripts, type:
pip install --upgrade pip
to get the newest pip version.
Now you can install selenium with:
pip install selenium

I am using PyCharm editor for python coding and want to install pyttsx3 library and also download from cmd not the problem is pycharm is not identifying the module as installed. Can you suggest what to do I am on Windows 10

I see in your PyCharm instance that you have a specific interpreter called "jarvis". You need to make sure that the pip install command you are executing in the command prompt is installing this package in the site-packages folder of the jarvis interpreter.
You can install it in the same environment as Giacomo suggested using PyCharm to be sure. Click the "Terminal" tab and run the pip install command there.

pip not working with any followed commands:
pip is not showing anywhere:
It sounds like you may not have pip installed, judging from your pictures. If so type this to check python -m pip --version.
If you don't have it installed, perhaps try python -m pip install.
If you do have pip installed and are trying to install pygame, I suggest trying python -m pip install pygame.
I also found that using python didn't work but replacing it with py did. I did these things (a while ago) in terminal on a windows 10 machine, so my suggestions may not be relevant.

I was trying to develop a virtual machine for my friend, I decided to use python pip, but when I typed in install after pip (pip install wolframalpha), the "i" is highlighted as an "invalid syntax". I have tried capital "i" in install, but it still shows the error, I do believe I have searched for all possible reasons, but did not come to the one that is my reason for all my problems. also, i have tried python IDLE and the cmd prompt widows comes with, along with uninstalling and reinstall python 3.8.5, yet that did nothing. below is a screen shot of my problem.
pip install error
The problem is you are using python in your shell, instead what you want to do is open up command prompt and type pip install (your module), or if this throws you an error configure pip to your path variables than try again.

I am trying to install some packages from the command prompt on my windows OS. I tried the steps given in the answer here but they don't seem to work for me. I can use the spyder IDE to install the package and get on with it but I want to know how to do it from Command line. I am getting this syntax error.
Did you install pip? Check it with using pip --version
If not, please install and after that, it should work with using:
pip install django

I am trying to install Python programs using Pip. Python recognizes the pip module, but none of the pip commands. Has anyone else had this problem?
For example,
pip is a command-line tool, that also happens to be a module you can import.
To install a package, execute the command-line tool, not the module. E.g. run pip in your terminal or console, not in Python itself:
$ pip install python-etsy
You tried to execute the command-line syntax in a Python shell; that's not valid Python syntax.
As of Python 3.4, pip is included with Python, but to ensure you get to use the right version, you need to use the Python py command to invoke it:
py -3 -m pip install python-etsy
See the Installing Python Modules documentation.
To use 'pip' in windows you have to change the directory to the folder 'pip' is installed in and then execute it.
In Python 2.7 'pip' and 'easy_install' are in 'Python27\Scripts' as far as i remember 'pip' should be in 'Python3x\Lib\site-packages'. Just navigate your cmd to the right folder with the command 'cd'.
open cmd
type 'cd C:\Python3x\Lib\site-packages' with x replaced by your version.
type 'pip.exe install requests' or 'easy_install.exe requests'
