Python Forum

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

    ---------------------------|-----------------
    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

                                           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The following packages will be SUPERSEDED by a higher-priority channel: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.
Anaconda and other ways to run Python

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!
