You need to execute the command in `cmd` or `terminal` and not in your Python shell. — moritzg, Jun 19 '17 at 05:58

You got a typo. Redundant dash.

Run pip install telegram-bot

User Guide how to install packages with pip.

UPDATE: You should not be running pip commands in python prompt. You should run them in terminal. Also you should not copy $ sign.

To sum up: Open Terminal -> run pip install telegram-bot -> open python -> you are good to go.
