Unable to install module - rrowhe4d - Oct-13-2020
I'm very new, this is going to be my first real "project" to digitally move my computer mouse a certain distance after taking some very basic Python college classes a couple years back.
I'm trying to install a module called pyautogui so I could import it into my python code and go from there. I'm using PyCharm on Windows 10. I've tried running
Quote:pip3 install pyautoguiin every "run box" I could find. From the "cmd" on Windows to the "py.exe" to the "Python 3.8.3 Shell". Either nothing happens or I get errors.
I've tried typing
Quote:python --versionin the "Windows cmd" and get absolutely nothing. I read somewhere that if this doesn't work then that might be an indication of the problem. I also read something about pathing and finding the path to your python, but I have no idea what that that means since people seem to be listing different directories on their computers that I don't have. Any ideas? My end goal is to simply "import pyautogui" in my PyCharm IDE so I could use parts of that library, and hopefully install different libraries without hassle. Please help.
