Hello Tim and Daniel, Many thanks for the very quick response.
I forgot to mention earlier that I did try on the Command Prompt. However, then I went into Python by entering the command ‘py’ and tried the pip install there. Following Tim’s email, I tried at user prompt and it worked. Noted suggestion on Tutor List. I have since subscribed to it. Many thanks again. Have a great day!
