pip is not supposed to be run by the Python interpreter. Where did you find your facebook module? Aren't you missing a step in its installation? — Ronan Boiteau

the only command was the import facebook command facebook-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html — Matan

You are getting this error because you didn't install the package. Run this command to install the package - pip install facebook-sdk

Or if you are using python 3 better to run - pip3 install facebook-sdk

After installing import the package - import facebook

N.B: It's better to install released versions.
