pynmea2

[kendias]

my question here:

I am trying to d'load pynmea2 but face the foll.: 
Is there a website to d'load it from? I could only find a link where I can copy it which I did but ended up with several error i.e. it had some tags which created errors in the program unless deleted. It is a big program, so deleting takes time. In addition, after deleting, I got into indent/unindent errors, so gave up!
Any help on d'loading without errors and then using on NMEA  data are appreciated - Thanks

Did you try

pip install pynmea2

Which downloads and installs it from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pynmea2/1.7.1

How have you been installing and what is. The exact error?

Tried it get error "invaid syntax"

[metulburr]

pip command does not go into the python interpreter (ie. >>>), but the system command prompt, (in windows it would be C:\

Thanks.
Yes, I tried it under the C: command and also under Enthought Canopy, get the same error:

pip instal pynmea2
File "<ipython-input-2-22bcb2e2cef1>", line 1
pip instal pynmea2

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am using Python 2.7.9

pip instal pynmea2

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You are not running it in the command prompt. You wont get a syntax error in the command prompt. You only get a syntax error if your trying to run it as code...in which it is invalid syntax.

You're typing it into the interpreter.  Don't do that, pip means nothing to the interpreter, it's nonsense.  pip is an unrelated program that was installed along with python... you use it directly from the command line.

Tutorial cmd.

Thanks for clarifying.
I did it on the cmd line i.e. C:\\ prompt and got "pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
I also did using interpreter and got (as you said) "invalid syntax" So am stuck as cannot d'load pynmea2.

pip should come with Python 2.7.9.
Open the Windows cmd ( CTRL+R, type cmd and hit Enter )
Navigate to C:\Python27\Scripts
Type:
cd Python27\Scripts

and press Enter

Then type:
dir

If you see pip there, you have it installed.
What you need to do it is to add the path to Python27 in your system PATH environment variable.
