10 years agoUsing pip to install the Dropbox library is recommended. The official instructions are here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python#install
The "pip install dropbox" command would be run in your command prompt, but you need to have pip installed. The installation instructions for pip itself can be found here:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
Note that pip is made by a third party though, so we can't support pip itself.
Alternatively, instead of using pip, you should be able to download the library itself and install the library by using the setup.py file included with the library, using the command you mentioned in your command prompt:
python setup.py install
