You might do better ask this kind of question on the Tutor list:

I encountered an error when trying to install a package in the Python
IDLE shell:
python -m pip install numpy
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
However, the answer here is straightforward enough: the python/pip
command is an operating system command, ie to be run from the Command
Prompt, not from the Python prompt.
So:
* Press the Windows Key or otherwise invoke Windows' search mode
* Start typing: cmd
* An icon for the "Command Prompt" should appear. Click it.
* In the window which appears, at the command prompt, type the command
you used above: python -mpip install numpy
