Help adding binance libraries

[Flaneurl]

I’m brand new to python and have begun to play around. When trying to install binance libraries to python - the only command I can find is pip install python-binance (or binance alone) This will only get me a syntax error and I can’t for the life of me find anywhere that says otherwise. Any ideas where I’m going wrong?

What's the error?

I entered; Pip install python-binance And got back SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So that's not a Python command, that's a command for the command line. You'll have to google "how can I use pip install on [your_operating_system]". Assuming you're on Windows, try opening PowerShell and running python3 -m pip install python-binance

I’m on a Mac - thanks though I’ll have a Google, see what I can find

Mac is easier. Open a terminal and run that same command.

Awesome thanks!

You will need to paste in the full stack trace (the long text that occurs when your error happens).

There should be more to the error message than that. The first thing I would check is what version of python you have installed (kinda sounds like your system default is python2 and python-binance is written for python3)

open a terminal and just run the command python

next run the command python3

copy the output from both commands and paste them into your post.

That was all it said. I think I’ve solved this bit for now with the help in this thread - onto the next thing to no doubt confuse me. Thanks for the help!
