How to Fix 'No Module Named...' Error in Python | Python Tutorial

How to Fix ImportError "No Module Named pkg_name" in Python! First, download the package using a terminal outside of python. Then fix your %PATH% if needed. Troubleshoot for beginners.

To use "import pkg_name" in a script, you must INSTALL THE PACKAGE!

Installing
0:04 Option 1, use the 'Terminal' in your IDE (PyCharm)
pip3 install pkg_name OR pip install pkg_name
This installs the package in your virtual PyCharm environment

1:21 Option 2, open a terminal with your Operating System
pip3 install pkg_name OR pip install pkg_name
Also try "python -m pip3 install pkg_name"
This installs the package onto your system, accessible to all IDE's and python interpreters.

*********************************
Troubleshooting (if option 2 does not work)

2:03 Option A, check your PATH and add a new variable to it
display current path with: 'echo %PATH%'

5:32 If A doesn't work, try this: use the 'Run' application (works reliably)

For others that are still having the error, the problem is that you could have selected the wrong interpreter. I highly recommend the video: "Selecting the correct Python interpreter in VSCode's Python Extension" that goes over on how to solve the issue. While the YT channel uses a Mac, the same exact process can occur with a Windows PC.

Thank you! Since I'm a beginner, such problems are really hard to solve for me, but this tutorial is amazing and helped me a lot!

I was trying to fix it for like a hour and a half, following some tutorials, but didn't work, but suddenly found your tutorial, and finally I was able to fix it. It was in the last way you showed, which I hadn't seen before, so thank you so much! <3

Thanks man, I was searching for like 2 hours and nothing helped but thanks to this video it works. I started learning Python yesterday and wanted to try out something new but the modules not working was a roadblock.

FIX THAT WORKED FOR ME: when creating a new project in Pycharm you need to check the box that says 'inherit global site-packages'. Making a new project and choosing that option fixed the problem for me (if you have some files in your current project, make a new project as I explained above and move the files into the new project). If it doesn't work try restarting your pc. Hope this helps
