To install the bs4 module, you can use pip, the package installer for Python. Follow these steps:

Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer. Type the following command

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install bs4

Wait for the installation to complete. You should see a message that confirms the installation was successful.

After installing bs4, you can import the BeautifulSoup class from the bs4 module in your Python code to use it for web scraping. For example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = 'https://www.example.com'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

Now you can use BeautifulSoup to extract data from the webpage

You can install it by typing "pip install bs4" in your terminal. And i'm guessing you copied and
pasted code from chatgpt?
