Install python modules...HOW???...

If you want a complete py modules for you idle. You can install

sudo pip install module-name

If you use Ubuntu or Debian Linux you may also be able use the systems package manager:

sudo apt install python3-pip sudo apt install python-pip

Make sure you have Python updated, because it ships with pip. If pip is not available and you use Python > 3.4+, just run the command: >>py -3 -m ensurepip

---You can check your version with the command python --version

To install pip on Apple Mac OS X, open up a terminal. Then download the get-pip.py installation file with curl ---curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py You can then run the installation script: ---python get-pip.py That’s it, pip is now installed.

older versions of Python

For older versions of Python, it’s recommended that you upgrade instead of work with a legacy version of Python. If you insist, download the install script and place it in your Python directory. Then run it with

python get-pip.py

To do this, you need an administrator command prompt.

We can create a virtual environemnt, that is seperate from the operating system. This allows you to use the same Python modules as other developers in your team.

Create a virtual environment with the line:

virtualenv foo Then open /foo/

cd /foo/ You now have 3 directories: bin, include and lib. Move up a directory.

To activate the virtual environment type:

source foo/bin/activate we can then install any module, any version we want - without affecting the operating system. This way we can have the same version of modules as other developers.

Note: Pip will now install for this environment only. pip install To exit the virtual environment write:

deactivate
