Can you show the entire error message?
What is the output of
pip -V

Normally, you would just use:
pdf install pdftablesBut relative to usable package age, this package is ancient (2014)
and will not install in python 3

The Pypi "pdftables" is a different (and as you mentioned, old) project. pdftables-api is separate and has updates this year. Pip should be able to install packages that are not uploaded to Pypi.

I don't see pdftables-api in pypi is that the name?

It's not in Pypi that I'm aware of. That's why he's attempting to use the (valid) alternate installation directly from a git repo.

You're right, That is I'm trying to do, to install from git repository but I don't know how to do this. Usually I go to the preferences of pycharm to install a packages. But it's not available.

pip install isn't a python command to be run in a python program. It's a program to be run from your command line (just like python itself is).Run it from your C:\ prompt.
