Help installing pipista module in pythonista

jmzg1229

This seems like a dumb question, but please bear with me. Ive been trying to install pipista, the module used for installing other modules, but I havent been able to figure out what files do I place in which directory. Any place I try, it gives me an import error. Any help is appreciated, im very new at this.

Did you already check the information in this thread 'Using pipista'?

If the answer is 'Yes', please describe your problem more precisely. What exactly did you do to get this error massage (code or command examples)?

If your problem is that you can't import any new module in your code, you have to tell pythonista where to find it: The Module Search Path

When you are using pipista, one simple way is to import pipista first in your code, after that the interpreter will automatically also search for modules in the 'pipista-modules' directory.
