Having problems installing modules on python (Mac)

I'm a bit new to using pip to install modules on Python. I believe I have pip installed, however when I try to use the module I've tried to install using pip it says there is no such module. I'll post terminal response to see what happened. I'd really appreciate if somebody can let me know if I'm making a mistake installing modules, thanks for your time.

Here is a solution that worked very well for me (using IDLE from python.org). I followed the instructions from this blog entry on the honcho website https://www.honchosearch.com/blog/seo/install-python-modulespackage-using-idle-mac/

In short:

  • start the IDLE shell (or your favourite shell that runs your favourite python flavour)

  • enter:
    import sys; sys.executable

  • this will return the path to the python that's running in your IDLE shell. Copy the python-path.

To install a modules:

  • start a system terminal
  • paste the python-path
  • behind the python-path enter: -m pip install "package-name"

You will need to call pip from python3: sudo python3 -m pip install matplotlib
