Looks like you are running the commands from within the python shell. You need to run them from the command line.viggnah
Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem.Community

From the error message given, it appears that you are attempting to invoke pip from within the Python interpreter, which won't work. The pip command is a stand-alone program; you need to run it from the system command prompt, instead.

Depending on the OS you are running, this will mean opening either a terminal window (for Linux, MacOS, or some other Unix-like) or a Windows Command window (for Windows). In either case, what you would enter is

pip install seaborn

Note that you would not add the dollar sign ($) to this; that is in the instructions to indicate that it is entered at the system console (for Unix systems running the Bourne-Again Shell, $ is the default prompt).
