How to open Python Terminal?

I am learning Python from the Internet. I have downloaded Python 3.6 and Spyder from Anaconda. Using Windows 10 device. I need to install speech recognition library, using code:

sudo pip SpeechRecognition

and for that I am not able to use Spyder.It shows a syntax error. I need to open the python terminal.

As others have said, you should install in the cmd prompt.

There is an option to install in your IDE (Spyder)

You can run the following:

import pip
pip.main(["install", "SpeechRecognition"])

Press WIN + R, then type cmd and press ENTER.

Type in the following command and press ENTER and the installation will began.

pip install SpeechRecognition

If you have a virtual environment set up, however, execute source activate {environemt_name} before running the above command.

Type python and press ENTER to open Python Terminal.

Go in the Start Menu, and look for the "Anaconda3" item, and use the Anaconda Prompt item there to launch a shell session with the environment set up. Then you can type

  python 

at the prompt, and it will start the default Python you've installed for Anaconda
