Error installing package with pip
pip, python, python-3.x
Solution
The `$` refers to the beginning of a shell prompt, you shouldn't actually include it in your command :)
So rather than (from the example question you posted)
$ pip install requests
you actually type
pip install requests
In any case, you can download matplotlib .exe files from here for use in Windows. Make sure you get the correct bitness (32bit vs 64bit) and the correct Python version.
Problem
I'm trying to install a charting tool (matplotlib-v1.4.2) for python 3.4 in Windows 7, so far all my trails doesn't seem to do the job. Attempts: - I've downloaded pip from GitHub - `python -m pip install matplotlib` on Command Prompt[DOS] - No Use There's a similar question posted here, tried these suggestions too but I get the following error `'$' is not reconginized as an internal or external command.` I'm sure I'm missing something, your step by step guidance on this regard would be much appreciated.
