How to install/import Biopython into Python 3.8/ PyCharm IDE

Question

I'm new to Python/Biopython programming. I'd like to install Biopython into my PyCharm IDE but I've tried all instructions on this, but it's not confirming it. I have the available biopython file already extracted. There's a SyntaxError for 'install' in:
pip install biopython
What's the proper way of installing and importing biopython? And how does one confirm the installation.

Install Anaconda3 the instructions are here. Then making sure you are connected to the internet type
conda install -c anaconda biopython

Once Anaconda is installed don't attempt to use pip, if you do then you need to set an 'environment' in Anaconda and work from that environment.
I suspect you used pip or pip3 via
pip install biopython
