Import error No module named skimage

Question

I am building code on python using skimage. But I am getting import errors while using skimage.segmentation.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "superpixel.py", line 5, in

from skimage.segmentation import slic

ImportError: No module named skimage.segmentation

You can use pip install scikit-image.

Also see the recommended procedure.

For me, using your command caused `import numpy` erros. I used `python3 -m pip install -U scikit-image` instead and it worked magically! – Tina J Oct 15 '20 at 20:04

As per the official installation page of skimage (skimage Installation) : python-skimage package depends on matplotlib, scipy, pil, numpy and six.

So install them first using

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib python-numpy python-pil python-scipy

Apparently skimage is a part of Cython which in turn is a superset of python and hence you need to install Cython to be able to use skimage.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cython

Now install skimage package using

sudo apt-get install python-skimage

This solved the Import error for me.

You need to Activate your environment : E.g, .\Env Folder\Script\ac

Then:

python -m pip install scikit-image

Thanks for your contribution, but it seems the question already contains a lot of similar answers like this. Variations thereof seem to have not much to do with the module in question. – Yushin Washio Dec 26 '21 at 20:56

I tried using:

pip install scikit-image

It shows successful installation but when I import skimage it still gives me NoModuleFoundError.

This command worked for me:

python -m pip install -U scikit-image

pip installation did not work for me. I solved the problem by trying

conda install scikit-image

On Debian based distributions:

sudo apt-get install python3-skimage

and, if you use it for python 2 scripts:

sudo apt-get install python-skimage

git clone https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image.git
cd scikit-image
pip install -e .

To update the installation:

git pull  # Grab latest source
