How to install Colorama in Python?

I downloaded the colorama module for python and I double clicked the setup.py. The screen flashed, but when I try to import the module, it always says

No Module named colorama

I copied and pasted the folder under 'C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages' and tried to run the setup from there. Same deal. Am I doing something wrong?

You can install for a specific version of Python using the following command:

python3 -m pip install colorama

In case you need to root privileges, for Linux/macOS:

sudo -H python3 -m pip install colorama

According to documentation you should always run setup.py for colorama from its install directory. https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/41

I have also experienced this problem. Following the instructions to install sudo pip install colorama I receive the message:

Requirement already satisfied: colorama in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.

The problem for me is that I am using python3 in my header code #!usr/bin/env python3. Changing this to#!usr/bin/env python works - sorry, I don't know how to get it to work with python 3!

Re-installing colorama might not work right away. If there is a colorama .egg in site-packages, you need to remove that file first and then pip install colorama.

Installing with pip is almost always the way to go. It will handle downloading the package for you, as well as any dependencies. If you don't have pip, see http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html

Then

pip install colorama

or

sudo pip install colorama

Ba-boom! Done.
