To install packages pip install requests It might error the first time, so try again It will get the requests package from pypi (the python package index) To check if it installed, go into python by typing this in the command line python Then import requests It should just be blank, not ModuleNotFoundError You can now exit with exit()
At the bottom it will say update pip, but when you try to update, it will say
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\python311\lib\site-packages\pip-22.3.1.dist-info\entry_points.txt'

A better way would be requirements.txt, then pip install -r requirements.txt
