Error:

 File "<ipython-input-25-4ea57f630f45>", line 1
    pip install pandas-datareader

  • Running pip or conda commands inside a Python or IPython console in Spyder doesn't work. Please open a system terminal (bash or cmd.exe) and run them there instead. – Carlos Cordoba Jul 12 '17 at 13:39

  • It seems you have a certificate problem that prevents you from installing things with pip. What happens if you try to run `conda install pandas-datareader`? – Carlos Cordoba Jul 14 '17 at 14:35

    Thanks very much.. it seems to be worked... – Naresh Jul 17 '17 at 09:50
  • For next time, please try to use conda before pip. It's usually not a good idea to mix both of them in the same environment. – Carlos Cordoba Jul 17 '17 at 14:08

Try entering the same code (pip install pandas-datareader) In the terminal instead of python shell.

This should work (if you have pip installed, if not, have a look here or here): 

pip install pandas-datareader

or you can use conda it should work as well:

conda install pandas-datareader

Don't forgot that you should use this command line in a terminal
