Error installing tweepy on windows

Question

I am new to Python and tweepy. I have tried searching for an answer but haven't been able to get this working. I have Java 6 (can't change to 7, for another project), python 2.7 and I have downloaded and extracted tweepy in my C drive. Java and python are both in the PATH variables. I am trying to install tweepy and I keep getting this error. ``` C:\>cd C: weepy C: weepy>python Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:24) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>setup.py build File "", line 1 setup.py build ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> setup.py install File "", line 1 setup.py install ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> ``` Where am I going wrong? Is it a configuration issue?

Accepted Answer

another way is to use pip (if you have it installed). run

```
pip install tweepy
```

it should work just fine then.
