How do I install markdown in Python?

The standard way to install markdown is by running `python -m pip install markdown`. If you are using Anaconda, use `conda install -c conda-forge markdown`.

Why causes the 'No module named markdown' error?

This error occurs when the python interpreter cannot locate the `markdown` package. It is often caused by missing installation or environment mismatch (e.g. installing in global but running in venv).
