Python 3.6 Basemap Install

Question

I tried to install basemap for python 3.6 in the terminal but only getting the syntax error message:

>>> conda install basemap

  File "<stdin>", line 1
    conda install basemap
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Could anyone, suggest a solution please.

Don't write this in the python shell. Exit the python shell by typing exit() then type this command. This command is meant to be run in the main terminal not in python shell
