This question already has an answer here:
Why does “pip install” inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
5 answers
I've been trying to install the plotly library for a while. Whenever I try to run the commands, it doesn't work. I have Python (3.7.1) downloaded, and I know that because I open it and I can type in it. I try to do $ pip install plotly, as found in Getting Started with Plotly for Python.
When I do that, it says invalid syntax. I don't really get how to download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py, which is the secure pip install file.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
seems to work, but then when I try
python get-pip.py
It doesn't work again, because of an invalid syntax. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so any help would be great.

It seems you might be running the code with Python 2 instead of Python 3. Check the Python version with the following command.
python --version
Perhaps try and execute the program again by calling Python 3 directly
python3 get-pip.py

I tried all 3 option in CMD, python 3.7, and the pycharm IDE, it either says it's a syntax error or it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sorry I assumed you were running on linux. Perhaps it might be that your environment path variables aren't set. Have you tried using the full path to execute the program? e.g.c:<your python directory path>python3 get-pip.py

This is probably a very beginner question I should know the answer to, but how do I tell what path it should be on?
