Trouble w/ BeautifulSoup #5

Open bsullins opened 6 years ago

bsullins commented 6 years ago

On a fresh install of macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and had a hell of a time getting setup. Trying to install beautiful soup I had to download/extract the tarball then run setup.py

Now I'm seeing this error, which leads me to believe it's not setup right. Any help?

imac:youtube-explore ben$ python2.7 follow-youtube-recommendations.py --query="global warming,vaccines,nasa" --searches=4 --branch=4 --depth=4 --name="science"

It seems like you don't have lxml installed.

I would try this:

# Install homebrew for Mac
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# Install libxml2 with homebrew
brew install libxml2

# Install lxml
pip install lxml
