Welcome to Ask and replit!
To add packages in python do one of these:

  1. In the Packager tab, search for your package, and install it from there.
  2. In the Shell tab, run pip install <your-package-here>
  3. In the Shell tab, run poetry add <your-package-here>

Hope this helps!

I installed it from packages and when I try to add it in tab it says this:File “main.py”, line 1
pip install beautifulsoup4
^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It marks the install as invalid syntax

I tried to add it in Python tab

I installed it from packages and when I try to add it in tab it says this:File “main.py”, line 1
pip install beautifulsoup4

I tried to add it in Phyton tab

ok you need to go to shell:


then do pip install bs4

I typed that clicked run and it opens main py and nothing happened i typed it in Shell

yes now you need to import bs4 in your code, if your code is blank, then nothing will happen. However, if your main.py has code, then this is just an issue replit is experiencing. Finally, please mark my answer as solved

It says that module bs4 is not callable

can you send the code? Screenshots?

That one package that i installed is called beautifulsoup4

Don’t worry,i will mark it as solved at the end

And it says this

you can’t call the module? I think you need to use a method like

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup("<p>Some<b>bad<i>HTML")
