Can't figure out how to download pip/ install libraries [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

Why does “pip install” inside Python raise a SyntaxError?

5 answers

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.

Are you running this in a REPL? Run from a terminal (bash/zsh) please

Um no, all you have to do is just follow the instructions for installing by running whatever commands you need to in bash.

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

I tried all 3 option in CMD, python 3.7, and the pycharm IDE, it either says it's a syntax error or it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sorry I assumed you were running on linux. Perhaps it might be that your environment path variables aren't set. Have you tried using the full path to execute the program? e.g. c:<your python directory path>python3 get-pip.py

This is probably a very beginner question I should know the answer to, but how do I tell what path it should be on?
