How to install Colorama in Python?

I downloaded the colorama module for python and I double clicked the setup.py. The screen flashed, but when I try to import the module, it always says 'No Module named colorama'

I copied and pasted the folder under 'C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages' and tried to run the setup from there. Same deal. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Mike

Solution 1:

Installing with pip is almost always the way to go. It will handle downloading the package for you, as well as any dependencies. If you don't have pip, see http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html

Then

pip install colorama

or

sudo pip install colorama

Ba-boom! Done.

Solution 2:

Python packages are installed using setup.py by entering the following command from a command line:

python setup.py install

Solution 3:

I just a weird problem with awscli and colorama. Searching for an answer, I came here. The solution was:

$ sudo -H pip uninstall colorama
$ sudo -H pip install colorama

Solution 4:

Run the following command in Google shell:

sudo pip3 install colorama
