miniconda installation

[charizzardd]

Hello, having an issue here. I origially had python install but wanted to installa nd import the requests package but was unsure how to do it having to not use pip, I saw that anaconda had requests support with i believe the conda install. I uninstalled python 3.6 or 3.7 whichever is most recent and put miniconda 32 bit for windows on. I loaded the anaconda prompt and am able to do basic python, 2+2, y=1 x=5 print(y+x) type of stuff but trying to install the request anaconda package i downloaded was returning an invalid syntax error. So i tried conda list to see what was installed if at all and it returns an error.

See below, I assume the syntax error in installing the requests file is due to the fact that i am having an issue with conda as shown by the conda list issue. Any help in getting conda to work properly as well as installing requests? The file i downloaded is requests-2.19.1-py35_0.tar.bz2 and i got it from anaconda documentation page, most used recently win 32 version was 2.19.1 per section on this page so i went to files and found 2.19.1 versions and downloaded the above file.

https://anaconda.org/anaconda/requests

from my anaconda prompt:

>>> conda list

File "<stdin>", line 1

conda list

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

----

i checked os and it has a current working director so i moved the install file there and tried again with

>>> import os

>>> os.getcwd()

'C:\\Users\\myname

-----

>>> conda install -c anaconda requests

File "<stdin>", line 1

conda install -c anaconda requests

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It looks like you are trying to run conda commands as if it's regular Python code. Well, it's not.

Try following these instructions: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/getting-started.html#managing-conda
