ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bokeh'

I've tried changing PATHs, pip install, pip env. I don't know what else to try and it's getting frustrating.

/usr/local/bin/python3 
 % /usr/local/bin/python3 
Traceback (most recent call last):
 line 1, in <module>
    from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bokeh'
(base) ~ %

I have both python2 and python3 installed.

Solution

  • Your question seems to be quite general. If it is related to set up a virtual environment you can do the following using venv in Linux.

    # create and go to a project folder
$ mkdir project_folder
$ cd project_folder

# make a python virtual environment and activate
$ python -m venv ./venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate

# then pip install modules you need, for example numpy
(venv)$ pip install numpy

# check in a repl if you can import
(venv)$ python
>>>import numpy as np
>>>np.arange(1, 10, 2)
>>>

# to leave the virtual environment 
(venv)$ deactivate
$

    See Virtual Environments and Packages. If you use Windows I recommend to use Anaconda for installing packages and organize your Python environment.

    If you want information on Bokeh there is a nice tuturial from Real Python Interactive Data Visualization in Python With Bokeh.
