No module named install

Question

Yes you read it right! I am trying to install pygame, so I downloaded the whl file and copied it to my project's folder, in the command prompt I navigated to the folder and entered

python -m install --user pygame-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

Now if you can help me here that would be really appreciated, why is the error so rare that I couldn't find it anywhere.

Answer 1

Python doesn't have a module called "install". The module you're looking for is probably pip.

Just type in the command prompt:

python -m pip install --user pygame-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

And pygame should start being installed.
