Python package installed in environment recognized

Why this happens

This usually occurs when a package is installed in one Conda environment, but your Python interpreter (in the terminal, VS Code, PyCharm, or Jupyter) is running a different environment or the base Python installation.

How to fix it

1. Activate the correct environment

conda activate your_env_name conda list

Check if your package appears in the list.

2. Verify the Python path

import sys print(sys.executable)

It should point to your Conda environment folder. If not, your IDE or terminal is using the wrong interpreter.

3. Fix for frequently used tools

VS Code: Press Ctrl+Shift+P → Python: Select Interpreter and select your environment, or click the Python version in the bottom-right corner.

Jupyter: Set up your environment with ipykernel:

conda install ipykernel python -m ipykernel install --user --name=your_env_name

To prevent path conflicts, use conda install package_name within Conda environments.
