The one that you’ll come across more often is -upgrade. You can even pass various arguments along with it. Installing it would be as simple as pip install requests. As it is a third party module we have to install it separately after installing python. Last time, in import-statements wiki we used requests module as an example. To install modules locally, you need to create and activate what is called a virtual environment, so pip install installs to the folder where that virtual environment is located, instead of globally (which may require administrator privileges). Side note: The difference is that with npm, npm install by default installs packages locally to a project, whereas pip install by default installs globally. If you have used npm, then you can think of it as npm of Python. The simplest way is to use pip pip install

So it's time to learn how to install these modules so that we can use those in our programs. Third party modules add so much more functionality to Python.

It’s the modules that makes python so powerful! Python comes with several built-in modules, but the Python community has more to offer.
