I have download : https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/download/4.6/

It is a Tar.gz file. I unzipped the file, and the setup was a setup.py, not setup.exe file. When I run the file, this opens in Pycharm. When I run the setup.py code in pycharm, I get this message :

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]

or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]

or: setup.py --help-commands

or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

I am not sure how to proceed. I did some research on how to install Beautiful Soup, but I seem to be missing something. Each link that showed the method did not work with me:

I also looked at this site : http://www.pythonforbeginners.com/python-on-the-web/beautifulsoup-4-python/

I do not have PIP installed. When I go to pycharm interpreter, beautiful soup does not show up. Can anyone tell me what steps I am missing?

The PyCharm docs are fairly helpful: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html

Easiest way is to install pip.

Hi guys,

First a disclamer. I am the John Snow of Python. For non-Game of Thrones fans I am a noob.

I tried doing the same as David and get the same error as him. Please see attached picture.

I also tried using pip install as I saw in a youtube tutorial. The guy made it seem easy but I've been searching on how to actually do it for 2 evenings now. Please see the attached picture.

I am not sure what else to try. Could anyone lend a hand to a noob please?

Kind regards,

Cristian Capsuna

You do not run pip from within python. run it from cmd line.

For me this problem was solved by declaring python and pip as system variables. Google can help with how to do that.

Pycharm -> file -> settings -> project -> project interpreter -> add interpreter (if not showing) -> click on plus symbol -> search for bs4 and beautifulsoup packages and install
