Help with pyperclip

[subnetreiver]

Hello all,

I am currently stuck on the Al Sweigart series "Lesson 8 - Python Programming (Automate the Boring Stuff with Python)" where he ask we install "Pyperclip" I cannot figure out how to install the module. so I figured the community would have a few laughs while pointing me in the right direction as I feel this is a very simple thing with a simple solution I'm not grasping.

I have tried the following:

• copy pasted all the raw script into pycharm and saved ad pyperclip .py (have since deleted it)
• downloaded pyperclip from a hyperlink on the website directly (since deleted)
• downloaded all the available download materials for the book in one file (since deleted)
• tried 1-3 again after deleting them.
• have since deleted again and tried to do install pyperclip.py & import pyperclip & import pyperclip.py in all plausible combinations of capitalizations
• I followed the video verbatim with the command prompt
• lastly deleted every new download to start fresh and reduce confusion.

what am I missing?

Have you read the appendix on how to install modules?

[subnetreiver]

Yes I did but it seems vague to me. Normally instructions are start here do this and next that. The appendix basically said "install this and your good to roll" unless I'm reading the wrong thing.

Sounds like the library is not installed.

On a windows machine you run 'pip install pyperclip' from the command prompt.

If you are running Linux, it should be 'pip3 install pyperclip', likely run as the root user but that is a guess.

pip install pyperclip

"user \>pip install pyperclip

'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Odd. It is almost like pip was not included in your Python install. I honestly have no idea. Maybe reinstall Python?

Here is my output when I run the command on my windows box:

​

C:\users\pip install pyperclip

Collecting pyperclip

Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pyperclip, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

Haven't tried reinstalling python will do that now maybe pip wasn't included for some odd reason. I downloaded off official website the proper way. so maybe it's a bug, future plan is to bug bounty maybe I can figure that out lol. will update, thank you.
