It depends on the module. Most times the easiest way is to use pip install <module> in the cmd. Another option is downloading the module and if it has a setup.py file in it, do python setup.py install from within the module's directory.

  • Which module do you want to install? You need its name and then just write the command in the cmd – Ella Sharakanski Apr 24 '15 at 18:31
  • I've tried installing `numpy` but it says `install` is invalid syntax – foxterfox Apr 25 '15 at 07:52
  • I have Python 3.4 (I also have Python 2.7 but I wasn't using it) with IDLE. In the Python 3.4 folder in the start bar I selected the Python 3.4 command line. I then typed `pip install numpy` and nothing else – foxterfox Apr 25 '15 at 15:33
  • You should write the command in the cmd, not in the python command line. To open the cmd using the keyboard press winkey+r and then type cmd and press enter. Alternatively, click the start button, type "cmd" and open the program, It should look like a black console. – Ella Sharakanski Apr 25 '15 at 16:18
  • It says `'pip' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file` – foxterfox Apr 26 '15 at 07:56

  • I reinstalled `pip` and tried it again but it still has the same error – foxterfox Apr 26 '15 at 09:14
  • You added it to the path as the instructions say? If so, you can ask a new question since you have a different problem now – Ella Sharakanski Apr 26 '15 at 17:45
