Requests is not a built in module (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install it:
OSX/Linux
Python 2: sudo pip install requests
Python 3: sudo pip3 install requests
if you have pip
installed (pip
is the package installer for python and should come by default with your python installation). If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests
(or python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively you can also use sudo easy_install -U requests
if you have easy_install
installed.
Linux
Alternatively you can use your systems package manager:
For centos: sudo yum install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python2: sudo apt-get --reinstall install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python3: sudo apt-get --reinstall install python3-requests
--reinstall
may fix this error, if package was already installed.
Windows
Use pip install requests
(or pip3 install requests
for python3) if you have pip
installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests
(or python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests
, where Path
is your Python*\Scripts
folder, if it was installed. (For example: C:\Python32\Scripts
)
If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, uncompress it, and then place it into the Lib\site-packages
folder of your python path. (For example: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
)
From Source (Universal)
For any missing library, the source is usually available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/. You can download requests here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
On mac osx and windows, after downloading the source zip, uncompress it and from the termiminal/cmd run python setup.py install
from the uncompressed dir.
