What does it mean to type in the anaconda prompt? Does this mean that in the terminal, the working directory is the anaconda app? – Confirmatory

@Dion Anaconda Prompt is in Windows. Simple terminal is used in Linux. You can find details here docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/verify-install/… I ran the command pip3 install yfinance in opened terminal in Ubuntu under default location. It's worked good – Electronarcosis

Answer 5

The simple command usually works:

pip install yahoo-finance

If this does not work usually anaconda has good packages that work with each other:

conda install yahoo-finance

Things that could introduce problems that are not solved by the above commands:

1. Python is not properly installed. Reinstall python. I would recommend using anaconda to install Python, because it has a lot of libraries pre-installed that do not conflict with each other.
2. Problems with the internet connection. Make sure that you have connection to the internet and specifically to pypi website (https://pypi.org/)
3. You do not have ssl libraries installed and that does not allow you to connect using https. Install ssl libraries.

Based on the error I would recommend reinstalling Python with Anaconda and checking your internet connection.
