I am trying to install pygrib to extract some data from grib1 files. I found this: Installing pygrib Package answer that recommended using conda-forge. Which I didn't know existed. Anyway, I made a new environment and used the conda install -c conda-forge pygrib=2.0.1 command. It seems to have installed everything fine (I have pygrib 2.0.1 . py35_3 . conda-forge listed when I call conda list So it seems to have installed everything. But when I import pygrib I'm getting a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygrib' error. Is there something I have to do to activate the package? I was under the impression it would be good to go when I ran the conda-forge command.

Have you tried pip? If you import it via IDLE, but installed it via conda, it won't work. If you want a specific version, download the tarball (.tar) and set it up your self.
Then again, the import name may be different.
