i dont seem to have that plus sign ive seen in tutorials that would let me access the web.
id love for some help on this one, cheers!
im not sure how to intall packages via PyCharm, but you an manually install them to that python version (Which is what 99% of people do)

if you execute on your terminal...
pip3 install bs4
where pip3 is your python3.6.2 pip then it will install bueatifulsoup 4 to that python.
first exit PyCharm, that's your IDE (or glorified editor if you will)
open a terminal editor and then load your image file.
Hopefully you have more detailed documentation on how to load this image.

Normally, If you are running windows, I would suggest going to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
and get the beautifulsoup wheel from there.
beautifulsoup4‑4.6.0‑py3‑none‑any.whl  if running python 3,
then from command window, cd to your directory where the downloaded file is located and
type:
 pip3 install  beautifulsoup4‑4.6.0‑py3‑none‑any.whl
[url=javascript:;]beautifulsoup4‑4.6.0‑py2‑none‑any.whl[/url]  if running python 2
then from command window, cd to your directory where the downloaded file is located and
type:
 pip2.7 install  beautifulsoup4‑4.6.0‑py3‑none‑any.whl
Finally, you can get latest community version of PyCharm for free here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/downlo...on=windows

worked like a charm, thanks so much for your helpful responses!!
The page you are looking at in Pycharm shows you the 3rd party packages you have installed along with the current version vs. the latest version (if applicable).  It does not install packages, only updates. It is equivalent to the command line pip install --upgrade package_name . The page itself is equivalent to pip list --outdated

Good to know. I wasnt sure if PyCharm ran installs for python via GUI or not
