Collecting pyautogui

[31mException:

    return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding)

The code I used to start the download was

import pip
pip.main(['install', "pyautogui"])

pip is meant to be run as a command from the command line.

Open a terminal, and run:

pip install pyautogui

If you're using Linux, just open a terminal. If you're using Windows, hit windows+Q, and search cmd, or right-click on the start menu and look for Open a terminal or something like this.

You might need to run the command with elevated privileges (sudo on Linux, Open a terminal (admin) on Windows).
