Python BeautifulSoup Mac Installation Error
<p>I am completely new to all things programming.  As I am working to learn the basics of Python, I have run into a problem that I've been unable to work through by reading and Googling.</p>

<p>I am trying to install BeautifulSoup, and I thought I had done so successfully, but when I try to test whether or not it's installed correctly I get an error.</p>

<p>I am using PyCharm and typed the following into the Python Console:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
</code></pre>

<p>And I receive the following error:</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;input&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  File "/Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/_pydev_bundle/pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import
    module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
ImportError: No module named 'bs4'
</code></pre>

<p>I read through a previous thread about a BeautifulSoup install error and one of the things that was mentioned was to check the preferences settings in PyCharm to ensure that it's using the right version of Python . . .</p>

<p>Anyway, I can't seem to figure out what's wrong, so any insight and help in resolving this issue would be tremendously appreciated.</p>

<p>You can use pip to install beautifulsoup on mac, by typing in the following command in Terminal:</p>

<pre><code>pip install beautifulsoup4
</code></pre>

<p>You might be facing some permission problems if you are running the OS X preinstalled python as interpreter. I would suggest installing python with Homebrew if that's the case.  </p>

python beautifulsoup
