Overclocking my Webcam - Python

[AlexTheGreatish]

So I want to increase the FPS on my webcam, pretty much out of idle curiosity to see if I can.  The best chance that I seem to have is by using this Python code but I can't figure out how to install the imutils library.  In the documentation it just says to run

$ pip install imutils

which just gives me a syntax error.  Right now all of my programs are in the same folder.

 

I'm currently using the IDLE GUI, it doesn't seem to have a way to install a library like what I remember from Eclipse (when I did coding like 5 years ago).

 

I'm guessing I'm just a total idiot since I've never used Python before and this is super easy.

Already upped the mouse and keyboard polling rates, that was pretty simple

I got it installed using the Pyhton Command Line

What version of python are you using?

Also, probably stupid question, but the Github says this:

Provided you already have NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and OpenCV already installed, the imutils package is completely pip-installable

 

Did you try installing these packages as well?

Happens to the best of us. But is weird, considering I don't recall installing 3/4 of those packages.
