I was trying to install the requests module through pip, I typed pip install requests, and while installing it ran into this error:

Installing collected packages: certifi, urllib3, idna, chardet, requests
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files (x86)\\python37-32\\Lib\\site-packages\\certifi'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

When I ran IDLE, I typed import requests, but it said that no module exists. How do you fix this?

Python Version: 3.7.0

  • Did you try `pip install requests --user`? – TrebledJ Aug 19 '18 at 08:41
