2. Download the latest .tar.gz or .zip file.
3. Extract the downloaded archive to a folder of your choice.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the archive.
5. Run the following command:

        python setup.py install
    

Testing the Installation

To test if the installation was successful, open a Python shell or create a new Python script and type:

        import requests
    

If no errors occur, the installation was successful and you can start using the Requests library in your projects.
