Error when trying to install discord module using pip

Question

I am attempting to download the discord.py module using pip , but I keep getting a syntax error like this:

>>> py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I made sure pip was installed and tried downloading the module from the .whl file directly only to receive a syntax error in the same place.

Answer 1

You seem to be running the command in the Python REPL interpreter. You should run that command in the terminal/CLI of the operating system.
