python有很多内置的模块可以不安装使用，用起来非常方便，但是也有一些挺有用的非内置的模块不能直接使用，需要话费点力气手动安装。

进入python安装目录下的Scripts目录，查看是否有pip工具。为了避免出现一些未知错误，DOS窗口使用管理员权限打开。

使用pip工具安装，在python安装目录下的Scripts目录下执行如下命令。

pip install beautifulsoup4

可能会出现以下错误：

如果没有使用管理员权限则会出现更多的错误信息。

You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

解决方法：升级pip工具（注意：此条命令要在拥有管理员权限的DOS窗口下执行）

python -m pip install -U pip
