I need someone to comprehensively explain how to install libraries like beautifulsoup and requests onto a windows python console

I downloaded requests and beautifulsoup already. But i cant seem to get them to work. I need explanation that an absolute beginner would understand. None of the explanations online have yielded results for me

To use packages in Python, you should them using pip on the command line(cmd) For example: pip search beautifulsoup pip install requests

Do you mean the windows command line? If yes, is that all I have to enter to install it? No other conditions?
