I cannot import tensor flow inside the jupyter notebook but I can import that in terminal python

Question

Why does this happen? I'm using the same python kernel.

When I import tensor flow in terminal python, it works fine.

$ python
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc.) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import tensorflow
>>>

However, when I try to open ipython notebook and import it does not work:

ImportError       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-a649b509054f> in <module>()
----> 1 import tensorflow

ImportError: No module named tensor flow

Why?

Are you sure that the python of IPython is the same as the other ?? — Lucas, Jan 05 '17 at 08:36
Why is there a space in the message for your `ImportError`? Also, can you check `sys.path` in both contexts? — David Z, Jan 05 '17 at 08:36

You need to install the package for tensorflow to get it to work. Check this post out: ipython install new modules

If that were the problem, the import wouldn't work from the Python shell either. IPython does not require separate installation of packages unless the environment is configured differently somehow. – David Z Jan 05 '17 at 08:38
