If you have more than one version of python installed, run the respective pip command.

For example for python3.6 run the following

pip3.6 install beautifulsoup4

To check the available command/version of pip and python on Mac run

ls /usr/local/bin

pip is a command line tool  not Python syntax  In other words  run the command in your console  not in the Python interpreter  pip install beautifulsoup4  You may have to use the full path  C  Python27 Scripts pip install beautifulsoup4  or even C  Python27 Scripts pip exe install beautifulsoup4  Windows will then execute the pip program and that will use Python to install the package  Another option is to use the Python -m command-line switch to run the pip module  which then operates exactly like the pip command  python -m pip install beautifulsoup4  or python exe -m pip install beautifulsoup4
