Installing a pip package from within a Jupyter Notebook not working

Question

When I run !pip install geocoder in Jupyter Notebook I get the same output as running pip install geocoder in the terminal but the geocoder package

Answer 1

! pip install --user <package>

The ! tells the notebook to execute the cell as a shell command.

Answer 2

%pip install fedex    #fedex = package name

in 2019.

In older versions of conda:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install fedex     #fedex = package name

*note - you do need to import sys

Answer 3

The problem is that pyarrow is saved by pip into dist-packages (in your case /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages). This path is skipped by Jupyter so pip won't help.

As a solution I suggest adding in the first block

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages')

or whatever is path or python version. In case of Python 3.5 this is

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages")

Using pip2 worked for me:

!pip2 install geocoder

import geocoder
g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
g.latlng
[37.3860517, -122.0838511]
