Question

So when I attempt to install bs4 on my chromebook it says that it worked no problem:

pip install beautifulsoup4

Any advice?

Answer 1

I think it should not be "beautifulsoup4", try pip install bs4 instead. If that does not work, try to install the package via anaconda3 if you are currently using it.
