Installing libraries
#1
Hello,

I am trying to install the following libraries while using Jupyter, and I have Anaconda installed in my pc.

However, when I write the below in command prompt, it says "'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Can someone please tell me how I can install these? Thank you!

conda install lxml
conda install html5lib
conda install BeautifulSoup4

conda (or pip if available) has to be run form a command line, not from within a python script.
from command line, type this command to see what's installed
conda.list
if not already in in list:
conda install lxml
conda install html5lib
conda install BeautifulSoup4

You have not Anaconda3 or conda in Windows path.
Go to your ...Anaconda3\Scripts script folder in cmd.
G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ conda -V
conda 4.6.8

G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ pip -V
pip 18.1 from G:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
All libraries you want to install is already pre-installed.
Can try then then will conda update if needed.
G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ conda install lxml

## Package Plan ##

  environment location: G:\Anaconda3

  added / updated specs:
    - lxml


The following packages will be downloaded:

    package                    |            build
    ---------------------------|-----------------
    ca-certificates-2018.03.07 |                0         155 KB
    certifi-2018.11.29         |           py37_0         146 KB
    conda-4.6.8                |           py37_0         1.7 MB
    openssl-1.1.1a             |       he774522_0         5.7 MB
    ------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Total:         7.7 MB

The following packages will be UPDATED:

  conda                        anaconda::conda-4.6.2-py37_0 --> pkgs/main::conda-4.6.8-py37_0

The following packages will be SUPERSEDED by a higher-priority channel:

  ca-certificates                                  anaconda --> pkgs/main
  certifi                                          anaconda --> pkgs/main
  openssl                                          anaconda --> pkgs/main


Proceed ([y]/n)? y

You can add Anaconda3 to Windows Path if it's your main Python version.
Look at Fixing Path if needed.
Then for me it would be.
G:\Anaconda3
G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
Restart Pc.
Now will conda and pip work from anywhere in cmd(or much better cmder) and using Anaconda3.

Thank you for the help! I realized I don't have access to installing packages on my work PC. I am working on this first, then I will be able to follow your recommendations. Thanks again!
