Install the packages (and uninstall anything being upgraded/replaced). Note that pip install prefers to leave the installed version as-is unless --upgrade is specified.
How to...pip install?
I'm going to make the assumption that you don't use a virtual environment for this project. Try entering this into the VS Code terminal: py -m pip install requests This should always work on Windows as long as you have Python installed. Just make sure to not enter it into the Python REPL (starting with >>>) as this is not Python code. More on reddit.com

April 5, 2024How to install pip with Python 3? - Stack Overflow
I want to install pip. It should support Python 3, but it requires setuptools, which is available only for Python 2. How can I install pip with Python 3? More on stackoverflow.com
Difference between pip install and python -m pip install
No real difference in most cases, honestly. One is running pip directly and the other tells Python to run the pip module as a program. Really the only difference is that they might refer to different Python versions depending on how your PATH is configured and if you have multiple Python versions installed. More on reddit.com

May 13, 2023ELI5 what does Pip install do
Similar to installing addons to Excel you can install extra packages to Python that aren't included in the standard build. That then gives you additional features to call on. For Python, you can install packages using a package manager such as pip (the standard one, included by default on standard installations on Windows and macOS, but not necessarily on all Linux distributions). In Python there are many built in functions and methods already ready to be called. There are other features that are shipped as standard with Python but not automatically included (taking up memory) and which need to be imported to make them readily available. To add packages that are not included as standard you need to use a package manager that can download and install each package desired so it can then be imported. As standard, pip will seek to download a compatible version of a package form the official repository. It is possible to install from elsewhere including locally provided installation files. pip is typically invoked at the operating systems level although it is Python based and can be called as a python module using the -m option. On Google Colab, the ! is used within a notebook to request the Linux/operating system hosting Colab is used to execute the command that follows. You can do the same on your own computer when running a browser based jupyter notebook. There are some prebuilt versions of Python, such as from anaconda, that include many more packages already installed than is the case with the official standard python installation from python.org. Note that it is not good practice to install packages into the base/root installation on Python setup on your own computer. This is becauses the packages required for one project are not necessarily needed for another project. The package requirements of different projects may conflict with each other. So we usually do package installation on a project by project basis to what are called Python virtual environments. These are easy to setup and activate on the command line. Also many of the more advanced code editors (such as visual studio code) and integrated development environments (IDEs, such as PyCharm) have options to create and manage these for you. Well worth looking into. More on reddit.com

r/learnpython on Reddit: How to...pip install?
April 5, 2024 -
Never thought I'd need to ask this question as a CCNA and Network+ holder, I guess Python has decided to make the simple act of a pip install THIS difficult, wow! I have Python installed as well as Virtual Studio Code. I try this from command prompt
pip3 install requests File "<stdin>", line 1 pip3 install requests ^^^^^^^
And that's all I get, again and again and again. So I try this in the Visual Studio terminal:
pip3 : The term 'pip3' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

pip3 install requests

You use pip from the command line, not the Python REPL. If you're on Windows, that will be the Command Prompt or PowerShell. On Mac or Linux, it's the Terminal. Edit: I missed the part where you use the VS Code terminal. What happens if you try python -m pip .... there?

edit: Manual installation and use of setuptools is not the standard process anymore.
If you're running Python 2.7.9+ or Python 3.4+
Congrats, you should already have pip installed. If you do not, read onward.
If you're running a Unix-like System
You can usually install the package for pip through your package manager if your version of Python is older than 2.7.9 or 3.4, or if your system did not include it for whatever reason.
Instructions for some of the more common distros follow.
Installing on Debian (Wheezy and newer) and Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr and newer) for Python 2.x
Run the following command from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Installing on Debian (Wheezy and newer) and Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr and newer) for Python 3.x
Run the following command from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu install, the package may not be found until you do:
sudo apt-get update
Installing pip on CentOS 7 for Python 2.x
On CentOS 7, you have to install setup tools first, and then use that to install pip, as there is no direct package for it.
sudo yum install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
Installing pip on CentOS 7 for Python 3.x
Assuming you installed Python 3.4 from EPEL, you can install Python 3's setup tools and use it to install pip.
# First command requires you to have enabled EPEL for CentOS7
sudo yum install python34-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
If your Unix/Linux distro doesn't have it in package repos
Install using the manual way detailed below.
The manual way
If you want to do it the manual way, the now-recommended method is to install using the get-pip.py script from pip's installation instructions.
Install pip
To install pip, securely download
get-pip.pyThen run the following (which may require administrator access):
python get-pip.pyIf
setuptoolsis not already installed,get-pip.pywill install setuptools for you.
