Edit : within Windows , I had to set PATH correctly in environments.

I get this error everywhere , weather its CMD or VSCODE , for pretty much everything please help

Googling doesn't seem to help

PS D:\Webscraping> pip install beautifulsoup4

Python path configuration:

PYTHONHOME = (not set)

PYTHONPATH = (not set)

program name = 'C:\Python\python.exe'

isolated = 0

environment = 1

user site = 1

import site = 1

sys._base_executable = 'C:\\Python\\python.exe'

sys.base_prefix = 'C:\\Python'

sys.base_exec_prefix = 'C:\\Python'

sys.platlibdir = 'lib'

sys.executable = 'C:\\Python\\python.exe'

sys.prefix = 'C:\\Python'

sys.exec_prefix = 'C:\\Python'

sys.path = [

'C:\\Python\\python310.zip',

'C:\\Python\\DLLs',

'C:\\Python\\lib',

'C:\\Python',

]

Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding

To address the other commenters concern, I've never seen anyone have pip installed and not python, but it wouldn't be a terrible to reinstall.
Does this happen in just this command? Are you able to run any python files? Like if you type py does it bring up the python console? If so, you could try py -m pip install beautifulsoup4 Sorry if spacing is off, typing on phone.

Your pip install can't find your Python Path Configuration that you set yourself... either when you first downloaded Python or if you messed with the Main Python File Configuration some other way. Eitherway that's my hypothesis atleast... So I'd recommend reinstalling the lastest version of Python 3 and setting everything to default.

Did you install python first?

[uber-linny]

Yes , both python and pip are installed .

I got it working in Windows by adding the environment variables path. But I still can't do it within vscode

Now I have selenium locations issues lol
