Hi completely new to python( never heard of it before today) . I am trying to make something on Github work( again never heard of that before today).
I needed to install Python which i did successfully Python3.7 for windows
Now i need to install modules requests and lxml
I have tried literally everything i can find on google and everything i try returns a syntax error, i'm never going to be an expert but it's so frustrating when it doesn't work whatever i do.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide how to do this bearing in mind i have zero knowledge
Thanks
Mike

If you get syntax error I guess you try to install them from within python/interpreter

you need to use pip from command line - https://python-forum.io/Thread-Part-1-Py...er-Windows
You can use pip

Go to the cmd and do the following

pip install requests

&

pip install lxml
Thanks i followed both of your advice and have solved my issue, thank you much appreciated
