安装错误：pip install gTTS (Google-Text-To-Speech) 错误

Question

Getting syntax error while running the following command on terminal:

pip install gTTS File "", line 1 pip install gTTS ^

Answer 1

That's not how you run pip... You run it from the system shell like this

> pip install gTTS

or

> python -m pip install gTTS

If you want to run it from inside a script, or a python shell you do it like this

import pip

def install(package):
    pip.main(['install', package])

# Example
if __name__ == '__main__':
    install('gTTS')

Answer 2

If you had installed Anaconda IDE , the installation gets much hassle-free as it eliminates the headaches of trying to figure out which version/release of package X is compatible with which version/release of package Y.

Just open the Conda prompt shell and type the following command and hit Enter :

pip install gTTS

Voila! The package will be successfully installed in a jiffy!

Answer 3

I mentioned in my reply to sehafoc I tried running the command from shell and started getting another error "no module name pip", so I installed pip by running following commands:

1. Downloaded pip script $ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py > get-pip.py

2. Executed the pip script by running following command $ sudo python get-pip.py

3. Install gTTS module $ sudo pip install gTTS

Answer 4

If you can't use your pip on your cmd. But first thing, you have to install your pip with syntax:

python -m install pip 

And don't forget to add python to your path, and then type this syntax to your cmd

python -m pip install gtts

and your gtts will dowloaded automatically
