Python - How to check if requests installed correctly

Question

So i'm using import requests in one of my python scripts but i keep getting a large error that looks to be the .get() method that i'm using out of the requests isn't there, or it wasn't installed correctly, now even when i try pip to get to the help menu it isnt doing it correctly. I followed the directions https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing.html here, but even the python get-pip.py won't work? I feel like i am missing something very simple.. any advice? i know i have python installed correctly because whereis python comes back correctly with the location.

Answer 1

It probably your internet connection. Try pip install requests if you haven't or not sure you installed it and turn on your internet.

It worked for me!
