The `pip` command is intended to be given at your shell prompt (xonsh,
bash, zsh, etc.), not within the Python REPL.

Thank you for answering... in that case I get this error

 pip install beautifulsoup4
zsh: command not found: pip

I'm in my terminal, not in the REPL....

Without information about your operating system and how you installed Python, guesswork is involved.  Things you might try:

1. Your system may call the command pip3 rather than pip (to distinguish it from the obsolete version).

2. Your operating system / package manager may provide a packaged version of pip that works well in your managed environment.  For example, on Debian/Ubuntu systems you might do:

sudo apt install python3-pip

3. If you installed Python from python.org (and some other versions), you can use `ensurepip` to get the right pip.

python -m ensurepip

This will bootstrap the installation of the correct version of pip on your system (or in your virtual environment). See: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ensurepip.html

4. Failing all those, there is a get-pip.py script that will attempt to bootstrap a pip installation.
