Why does "pip install" inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
Full error message
I'm trying to use pip to install a package. I try to run pip install from the Python shell, but I get a SyntaxError. Why do I get this error? How do I use pip to install the package?
>>> pip install selenium
File "<stdin>", line 1
pip install selenium

pip is run from the command line, not the Python interpreter. It is a program that installs modules, so you can use them from Python. Once you have installed the module, then you can open the Python shell and do import selenium. The Python shell is not a command line, it is an interactive interpreter. You type Python code into it, not commands.
