The easy method that will work even in corrupted setup environment is :

To download ez_setup.py and run it using command line

python ez_setup.py

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
