Pip Install Not working with Scikit-Learn

Question

When I tried entering pip install scikit-learn on Python shell, I got the "invalid syntax" message. I already have Scipy and Numpy installed so there shouldn't be any depedency issues. What's wrong? And I am still new to Python so I don't want to manually install the module. I am using Python 2.7 on Vista 32-bit.

Thanks for helping.

Yes, I re-read your question. As I understand you youre trying to execute a pip install command from the python shell. This is not how it works. :) You have to run it from the command line.

If you installed everything using windows executable (.exe files) you should also install this as an executable available for download here - Scikit Learn Executables

Or,

The python shell is not the place to run pip commands. So open the command line terminal in windows and do pip install -U scikit-learn

Then go to python shell and import it.
