There are several ways to install `requests` package in Python. The easiest way is to use the `pip install` terminal command which will automatically install the latest version for the current desktop or just the user:

shell```shell
# system wide
$ pip install requests
# only for user
$ pip install --user requests
```



Alternatively, we can use a package manager such as [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/):

shell```shell
# create new poetry project with `requests` dependency
$ poetry init --dependency=requests
```



or [pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/index.html) package manager:

shell```shell
$ cd myproject
$ pipenv install requests
```
