Can't install on sublime text

[Vynne L.]

Hey there! I'm new to coding and am currently working through an online course to help get my bearings. The current module is using beautifulsoup, but I can't figure out how to get it to work.

I'm using sublime text currently as it's the editor that's worked the best for me of the ones I've tried, but no matter what method I use, nothing seems to work. I've already installed Package Control and installed the bs4 package listed in it, but every attempt to import bs4 into a working file gives back an error.

The main one I'm seeing is "no module called bs4 exists" when I try to use the import function, and any attempts to use other install functions just spits back an "invalid syntax" error. I've been puzzling over this for a couple of hours now and nothing seems to work. (Not to mention, since I'm new to coding, the only couple supposedly working solutions I've seen on others' posts online make no sense to me haha.)

Just hoping to find some help, thanks!

I don’t know what you mean by “install” bs4 in Sublime Text. Sublime Text is an editor. There is now bs4 package in packagecontrol: https://packagecontrol.io/search/bs4. Are you trying to write a Sublime Text plugin? Are you trying to install beautifulsoup on your computer and write a normal script with Sublime Text?

Either way, Sublime Text questions should probably be asked over at their forum: https://forum.sublimetext.com/ or their discord channel: https://discord.sublimetext.io/.
