Install python. https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart
at command prompt:
C:\Users\Jhufnagel>python -m venv openai-env (this creates a virtual environment so the libraries do not interfere with other libraries)
(openai-env) C:\Users\Jhufnagel>python -m pip install --upgrade openai (Note, the openai platform states that I can just use 'pip install --upgrade openai', but that gives an access error). I found the work around at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31172719/pip-install-access-denied-on-windows
