gensim error : no module named gensim

Question

I trying to import gensim.

I have the following code

import gensim
model = gensim.models.Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format('./model/GoogleNews-  
vectors-negative300.bin', binary=True)  

I got the following error.

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call  
last)
<ipython-input-5-50007be813d4> in <module>()
----> 1 import gensim
  2 model = gensim.models.Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format('./model  
/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin', binary=True)

ImportError: No module named 'gensim'

I installed gensim in python. I use genssim for word2vec.

Solution 1

Install gensim using:

pip install -U gensim

Or, if you have instead downloaded and unzipped the source tar.gz package, then run:

python setup.py test
python setup.py install

Solution 2

If using Python3 be sure to use pip3 instead of pip for installing gensim.

Solution 3

On Jupyter notebook, following worked for me

!python -m pip install -U gensim

Alternatively, run Anaconda prompt as administrator and execute the following

(base) C:\Windows\system32>conda install -c conda-forge gensim

Solution 4

I did a pip install gensim --user and it worked. The problem I was having with conda install gensim and pip -U install gensim was that it was not able to modify the environment variable at the end of the install.

Solution 5

My solution is for Windows 10, Anaconda. Where I want to use gensim with Spyder.

Solution: Use Anaconda Navigator, and install package from there: Open Anaconda Navigator -> Environments (base) -> not installed (packages) -> (search for) gensim -> check the gensim option from the drop down list-> Press apply button -> (wait for a while, it will search other dependencies, then press the button one more time to install required package)

Scree shot of Anaconda Navigator

• Repeat above for word2vec

History: On anaconda command prompt, using conda command, I installed gensim. Every thing looks perfect but it was even not imported, "import gensim", in command prompt.

• Bonus: Same is true for tensorflow
