If its just an ide (meaning NOT a virtual enviornment like anaconda or spyder) then you can just go to your command prompt and type "pip --version" to make sure it's installed and then "pip install <whatever>" to download libraries.

Yup sir I'm a beginner. Thonny looks promising, I will let you know when it will be set up.

What does replit run on? Usually you need to supply an ide with a version of python (that you already downloaded). Meaning the ide just makes it easier to write and display code, BUT an external python interpreter handles the execution of the code. That external interpreter (unless you have different ones) will be the interpreter your computer uses when you run code in the command line. So if you install libraries through the command line, it should work in the IDE

You sound like you're just starting out, you'll hear a lot mention "pycharm". Don't do it, it's pretty advanced. Start off with IDLE (the ide that comes w/ python) or something simple like Thonny
