Python pip install wget

Python pip install wget

The pip show wget command will either state that the package is not installed or show a bunch of information about the package, including the location where the package is installed.

# Install wget on macOS or Linux

To install wget on macOS or Linux:

Copied! 
pip install wget # 👇️ for Python 3 pip3 install wget # 👇️ if you get permissions error sudo pip3 install wget # 👇️ if you don't have pip in your PATH environment variable python -m pip install wget # 👇️ for python 3 python3 -m pip install wget # 👇️ alternative if you get permissions error pip install wget --user # 👇️ for Anaconda conda install -c anaconda wget 

After you install wget, try importing it as follows.

Copied! 
import wget url = 'http://www.futurecrew.com/skaven/song_files/mp3/razorback.mp3' filename = wget.download(url) print(filename) 

If you get an error that pip isn’t found, use the python -m command.

Copied! 
python -m pip install wget python3 -m pip install wget 

If you get a permissions error, prefix the command with sudo .

Copied! 
sudo pip install wget sudo pip3 install wget 

Alternatively, you can install the wget package in a virtual environment:

Copied! 
# 👇️ could also be "python -m venv venv" python3 -m venv venv # 👇️ activate virtual env on macOS or Linux source venv/bin/activate # 👇️ install wget in virtual environment pip install wget 

Your virtual environment will use the version of Python that was used to create it.

You can use the pip show command to verify wget has been installed successfully.

Copied! 
pip show wget pip3 show wget python -m pip show wget python3 -m pip show wget 

The pip show wget command will either state that the package is not installed or show a bunch of information about the package.

# ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘wget’ in Python

The Python «ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘wget'» occurs when we forget to install the wget module before importing it or install it in an incorrect environment.

To solve the error, install the module by running the pip install wget command.

Open your terminal in your project’s root directory and install the wget module.

Copied! 
# 👇️ in a virtual environment or using Python 2 pip install wget # 👇️ for python 3 (could also be pip3.10 depending on your version) pip3 install wget # 👇️ if you get permissions error sudo pip3 install wget pip install wget --user # 👇️ if you don't have pip in your PATH environment variable python -m pip install wget # 👇️ for python 3 (could also be pip3.10 depending on your version) python3 -m pip install wget # 👇️ using py alias (Windows) py -m pip install wget # 👇️ for Anaconda conda install -c anaconda wget # 👇️ for Jupyter Notebook !pip install wget 

After you install the wget package, try importing it as follows.

Copied! 
import wget url = 'http://www.futurecrew.com/skaven/song_files/mp3/razorback.mp3' filename = wget.download(url) print(filename) 

The error occurs for multiple reasons:

1. Not having the wget package installed by running pip install wget .
2. Installing the package in a different Python version than the one you’re using.
3. Installing the package globally and not in your virtual environment.
4. Your IDE running an incorrect version of Python.
5. Naming your module wget.py which would shadow the official module.
6. Declaring a variable named wget which would shadow the imported variable.

If the error persists, get your Python version and make sure you are installing the package using the correct Python version.

For example, my Python version is 3.10.4 , so I would install the wget package with pip3.10 install wget .

Copied! 
pip3.10 install wget # 👇️ if you get permissions error use pip3 (NOT pip3.X) sudo pip3 install wget 

Notice that the version number corresponds to the version of pip I’m using.

If the PATH for pip is not set up on your machine, replace pip with python3 -m pip :

Copied! 
# 👇️ make sure to use your version of Python, e.g. 3.10 python3 -m pip install wget 

If the «No module named ‘wget'» error persists, try restarting your IDE and development server/script.

You can check if you have the wget package installed by running the pip show wget command.

Copied! 
# 👇️ check if you have wget installed pip show wget # 👇️ if you don't have pip set up in PATH python -m pip show wget 

The pip show wget command will either state that the package is not installed or show a bunch of information about the package, including the location where the package is installed.

If you have multiple Python versions installed on your machine, you might have installed the wget package using the incorrect version or your IDE might be set up to use a different version.

For example, In VSCode, you can press CTRL + Shift + P or ( ⌘ + Shift + P on Mac) to open the command palette.

Then type «Python select interpreter» in the field.

Then select the correct python version from the dropdown menu.

Your IDE should be using the same version of Python (including the virtual environment) that you are using to install packages from your terminal.

If you are using a virtual environment, make sure you are installing wget in your virtual environment and not globally.

You can try creating a virtual environment if you don’t already have one.

Copied! 
# 👇️ use correct version of Python when creating VENV python3 -m venv venv # 👇️ activate on Unix or MacOS source venv/bin/activate # 👇️ activate on Windows (cmd.exe) venv\Scripts\activate.bat # 👇️ activate on Windows (PowerShell) venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # 👇️ install wget in virtual environment pip install wget 

If the python3 -m venv venv command doesn’t work, try the following 2 commands:

Your virtual environment will use the version of Python that was used to create it.

If the error persists, make sure you haven’t named a module in your project as wget.py because that would shadow the original wget module.

You also shouldn’t be declaring a variable named wget as that would also shadow the original module.

If the error is not resolved, try to uninstall the wget package and then reinstall it.

Copied! 
# 👇️ check if you have wget installed pip show wget # 👇️ if you don't have pip set up in PATH python -m pip show wget # 👇️ uninstall wget pip uninstall wget # 👇️ if you don't have pip set up in PATH python -m pip uninstall wget # 👇️ install wget pip install wget # 👇️ if you don't have pip set up in PATH python -m pip install wget 

Try restarting your IDE and development server/script.

You can also try to upgrade the version of the wget package.

Copied! 
pip install wget --upgrade # 👇️ if you don't have pip set up in PATH python -m pip install wget --upgrade 

If the error persists, I would suggest watching a quick video on how to use Virtual environments in Python.

This one is for using virtual environments (VENV) on Windows :

This one is for using virtual environments (VENV) on MacOS and Linux :

I wrote a book in which I share everything I know about how to become a better, more efficient programmer.
