And I end up with the following error:

Hi @Vasgi, for the code you're trying to run, you'll need to install the following python modules: requests, python-dateutil, enum34. Use the following commands:

pip3 install requests
pip3 install python-dateutil
pip3 install enum34

Hope this helps!!

If you need to learn more about Python, It's recommended to join Python Training today.

Thanks!

Hello @miihir.

Depends on which os you are using or the version of python you are using. The above solution of @ Layla works on window with python3 installed.

For OSX/Linux

Use $ sudo pip install requests (or pip3 install requests for python3) if you have pip installed. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests (or python3 -m pip install requests for python3)

Alternatively you can also use sudo easy_install -U requests if you have easy_install installed.

For centos: yum install python-requests For Ubuntu: apt-get install python-requests

Windows

Use pip install requests (or pip3 install requests for python3) if you have pip installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests (or python3 -m pip install requests for python3)

Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests, where Path is your Python*\Scripts folder, if it was installed. (For example: C:\Python32\Scripts)

Hope it helps!!

Hi, @Mihir,

I know there are many posts on this, and I've tried using the solutions provided,  I tried

 pip install requests and pip install requests --upgrade:

yet when I run my file I still get:

Import Error: No module named requests

I am unable to use requests in PyCharm, so I don't know what's causing this. Can you please help here?

Answer 2

Hello,

Open Cmd or Powershell as Admin.

type pip install requests

then request will be installed

Cheers!
