I've been trying to install the plotly library for a while. Whenever I try to run the commands, it doesn't work. I have Python (3.7.1) downloaded, and I know that because I open it and I can type in it. I try to do $ pip install plotly, as found in Getting Started with Plotly for Python.
When I do that, it says invalid syntax. I don't really get how to download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py, which is the secure pip install file.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
seems to work, but then when I try
python get-pip.py
It doesn't work again, because of an invalid syntax. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so any help would be great.

It seems you might be running the code with Python 2 instead of Python 3. Check the Python version with the following command.
python --version
Perhaps try and execute the program again by calling Python 3 directly
python3 get-pip.py

as shown in the picture, I'm trying to use Pip install to import a library on a github repository. However, when I do this, I receive an "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" error. What am I doing wrong? Note that this is on Google Colab.

pip install is a console command, not a Python command. To issue commands to the console on Google Colab and other similar notebook environments, use an exclamation point at the beginning:
!pip install git+https://...

The "f" syntax has been introduced in Python 3.6, while you're running on Python 3.5
Use a more recent version of Python.

I've tried using the pip3 install function multiple times on Python 3.9 but it never worked. I first tried it with JupyterNotebook and ended up using Anaconda to install Jupyter. I am currently trying to install Twint and InstagramOSINT but every time I use pip3 install I get an error message saying SyntaxError: Invalid Syntax. I checked to see if I have pip3 installed on my PC and I do.
you need to run powershell as admin otherwise you will get this error.

I installed Python on my Windows 10 computer
when I try to run my python code
I get error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyodbc'
I checked multiple questions here and the solution is to pip pyodbc
I tried that
pip install pyodbc
but i get error
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I checked similar propblems here and it seems that pip is not installed.
I unistalled and reinstalled python from python.org and still same issue!
any solution?
Edit
I did as suggested to try from command prompt
but still same error
I installed Python with ticking the option to include environment variables option.
Edit 2 :
I think the problem was that I was trying to install from witthin python.
I misunderstood the answers, I have to run pip as an application outside of python. to allocate pop.exe and then do pip install.
You are trying to install the package from python interpreter (IDLE) which is wrong. You should only import package from IDLE terminal (python session) which IDLE has access to.
Try this link to install the package --> https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/
You would run pip from a shell, not from the IDLE. However, pyodbc requires the Microsoft ODBC Driver. More information about installing the pyodbc module can be seen in this guide. This Stack Overflow answer can also help.
Normally, you run pip from a shell, not from a Python interactive session.
C:\PATHTOPYTHON\python.exe pip install <<SOMEPACKAGE>>
See the following thread, if you want to install from within a Python interactive session.

invalid syntax when trying to install pip [duplicate]

i'm trying to install this package called 'exceptions' in command prompt for Python, yet all i get is "invalid syntax". what seems to be the issue? i tried things like
pip18 install exceptions (i'm using version 18 of pip)
pip -m install exceptions
enter image description here
enter image description here
The pip command isn't a python statement, it's a command like python and so it should be entered at the c:\Users\L31308> prompt.
pip install exceptions looks right, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be an exceptions module to be installed. The packages are normally stored on the PyPI web site, sometimes referred to as "the cheese shop".
Perhaps if you could explain why you want to import this module and what it's supposed to do we might be able to find a fuller answer for you.
