Install BeautifulSoup, mrjob, pattern, and seaborn on python 2.7 on Jupyter

Question

I am learning how to use the new Jupyter. I want to install packages:BeautifulSoup, mrjob, pattern, and seaborn on python 2.7. I first tried to do so by running pip install BeautifulSoup mrjob pattern seaborn That all returns: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I also tried from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, it did work for Beautifulsoup. But I still don't know how to install other packages.

Wondering anyone know why there was syntax error for using pip install? Is that because I haven't installed pip on python 2.7?

Sounds like you're running `pip` from inside Jupyter. It's a command line program, so you should run it from a terminal. — mwaskom, Apr 21 '15 at 01:01

I was also able to install these packages from iphython notebook window by running

import pip    
def install(package):
   pip.main(['install', package])

install('BeautifulSoup4')

Have you tried installing one package at a time. This helps you find which installation command not working.

You can find Julia packages here.

I did install them one at each time, so that is not the problem. But still thank you. – enaJ Apr 21 '15 at 14:38

The problem was I was running pip from inside Jupyter. However, Jupyter is a command line program. Thanks to Mwaskom, the solution is run it from a terminal using:

pip install BeautifulSoup mrjob pattern seaborn
