To install the Scrapy framework, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have Python installed. Scrapy requires Python version 2.7 or above 3.4.
  2. Open a Command Line terminal or Command Prompt window.
  3. Install Scrapy with the following command:
pip install scrapy

If both Python2 and Python3 are installed on your computer, please use the pip3 command to install Scrapy.

pip3 install scrapy
  1. Please wait for the installation to be completed. During the installation process, other libraries that Scrapy depends on will be automatically downloaded and installed.
  2. After installation is complete, you can use the following command to verify if Scrapy has been successfully installed:
scrapy version

If the Scrapy version number is displayed, it means the installation was successful.

Now that you have successfully installed the Scrapy framework, you can start using it for web scraping development.
