I installed pycharm-2016.1.4 in my PC running Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed Keras (a Python package) using pip install keras and PyCharm can find it before. But it cannot find Keras now. I do not modify any settings, so this problem may be wired. My Python version is Python 2.7.

enter image description here

I use pip list to verify that I have Keras installed:

But check this package in PyCharm by using: Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter. Keras is NOT in the package list. (The interpreter used is the same as the result of which python in terminal).

This is strange, but you can install Keras directly through Pycharm.

You can follow this steps:

  • Go to Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter
  • Click on plus icon in the top-right corner
  • Search Keras and press on Install Package

Please let me know if this procedure solve your issue.

  • I have tried method as you say before, but **NO** packages in the list. I tried your answer just now and no packages as well. Steps: Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter, click the green "add" button, search keras but no packages in the list. – Dong Li Sep 24 '16 at 06:12
  • Do you use a virtualenv? Are you sure that you selected the correct Interpreter? – Giordano Sep 24 '16 at 06:18
  • I do not use virtualenv. I only have one interpreter: anaconda's python-2.7. – Dong Li Sep 24 '16 at 06:28
  • Moreover, I find I cannot install ant package using your method. Maybe the **install package** in my pycharm crash? – Dong Li Sep 24 '16 at 06:31
  • Hi, I have the same problem, and I use a virtualenv, @Giordano, can you please help me with installation of Keras using PyCharm? Everytime I try to install it using the above method, PyCharm shows me an error "40:490 execution erro:The directory '/Users/varij/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled." – Varij Kapil May 20 '17 at 10:54
  • Hi @varijkap, seems that you have some permission problems with the folder /Users/varij/Library/Caches/pip/http or its parent. – Giordano May 20 '17 at 10:59
  • But normal pip operations are successful, I am able to install keras without sudo through the terminal, Anyways, I solved the issue by changing the Project interpreter directory by following [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/35141307/2228983) answer – Varij Kapil May 20 '17 at 11:10

I do not know what happened, but the problem solved with the following steps.

  1. Uninstall old keras
  2. Re-install keras: pip install keras

Then I can import keras in pycharm.

NOTE: It is strange since I have keras installed but cannot find it in Project Interpreter's package list.

Use

import tensorflow.python.keras

instead.

  • This is a 6 year old question, do you mind putting an explanation as to why the above works? (I ask because others have flagged the answer) – Michael S. Aug 19 '22 at 19:52

To clearify Giordano's answer:

  1. You should have installed tensorflow or any other framework where keras can be used on top of.
  2. Create a virtualenv and set this as your project interpreter. This is a working solution for me: Installing tensorflow on Pycharm (Mac)
  3. Got to preferences -> Project: -> Project Interpreter
  4. Click on the plus sign on the bottom left corner
  5. Search Keras and install the package.

My solution:

if you ever have installed in python:

  • Go to File->Settings->Project->Project Interpreter
  • Click the gear-> Add..->System interpreter
  • Choose the python version that have installed keras

I am running through a training video series and, with Conda installed on my Centos 7 system, I could not get Keras to load properly. My solution was to use VirtualEnv for my Python Interpreter. I followed the steps here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-python-interpreter.html#add_new_project_interpreter

  • Can you include the steps you followed in your answer? If the link you included ever stops working, your answer loses it's value. – quicklikerabbit Sep 10 '20 at 17:10
