Pyautogui not importing "No module named 'pyautogui' "

Question

import pyautogui

print("hello")

After running this I am presented with the following:

C:\Users\Darkm\Anaconda3\envs\PythonChallenges\python.exe C:/Users/Darkm/PycharmProjects/PythonChallenges/Automation1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Darkm/PycharmProjects/PythonChallenges/Automation1.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pyautogui
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyautogui'

Process finished with exit code 1

Could somebody help me understand why I cannot import pyautogui?

Some background information:

1.) I only have one version of python (3.7.4)

2.) I have already installed the module through "pip install pyautogui" in cmd prompt.

3.) Pyautogui is installed under C:\Users\Darkm\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages

4.) Pyautogui does not show up when I go into file > settings > project interpreter and try to add it manually (it just doesn't show up).

5.) Have restarted computer multiple times

At this point I cannot figure out why I'm unable to import pyautogui, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

Why are you getting this error?

Because you are using PyCharm.

In PyCharm you don't need to install python packages from command prompt, in PyCharm you need to install python packages from PyCharm Project Interpreter.

Here are some tips that can help you!

Step 1: Go to PyCharm settings and go to this directory: Preferences and select Interpreter Settings
