How to Install Python Requests Library

If you're working with Python, you may have come across the need to make HTTP requests. The Python Requests library makes it easy to do just that. Here's how to install it:

Method 1: Using pip

The easiest way to install the Python Requests library is by using pip, the Python package manager. Here's how:

    pip install requests
  

Method 2: Manual installation

If, for some reason, you can't use pip, you can always install the library manually. Here's how:

1. First, download the Requests library from the official website: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/
2. Unzip the downloaded file.
3. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the unzipped folder.
4. Run the following command:

    python setup.py install
  

Verifying the installation

To verify that the Python Requests library was installed correctly, open up a Python interpreter and run the following code:

    import requests
    print(requests.__version__)
  

If the version number of the Requests library is printed out, then the installation was successful!
