It looks like you typed that command to the Python prompt, based on the 
distinctively Python "SyntaxError" response.

That command is supposed to be typed to a shell prompt. It is not Python code, 
it is a command line to install a package.

But as with the other responders, it is always helpful if you post the entire 
text, including the prompt you're using (which with show whether this was 
Python or a command shell etc) and if you've got a Python error, the full 
traceback. I suspect some people think this is noisy verbiage that would make 
their question hard to read, but it is usually vital context for the error 
message.
