You may also try to install: scikit-learn

pip install scikit-learn

or via Conda:

conda install scikit-learn

This is the only correct answer going forward, as the pypi `sklearn` package is being deprecated, and will error on install in every instance at the end of 2023. – LiHRaM Jan 17 '23 at 11:02
@LiHRaM Is it being deprecated or is it deprecated? – Mehdi Charife Jun 01 '23 at 21:36

@MehdiCharife My bad. It _is_ deprecated according to the `sklearn` package on pypi: https://pypi.org/project/sklearn/. My wording was due to the brownout schedule, where trying to install `sklearn` fails more and more often until it always errors at end of 2023, but it is already deprecated. – LiHRaM Jun 02 '23 at 13:06

This confused me after reading several posts about this.

To make sure I was installing to the right Python, I did this:

python -m pip install sklearn

It said

Requirement already satisfied: sklearn in /home/.../lib/python3.10/site-packages (0.0.post5)

Then I typed python to get the prompt and then import sklearn. It said ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'. But I just installed it, right? Wrong!

I ran python -m pip show sklearn and it said

Name: sklearn
Version: 0.0.post5
Summary: deprecated sklearn package, use scikit-learn instead

This is saying sklearn isn't the package to install to get the module sklearn. Instead I should install scikit-learn to get the module sklearn.

So I ran python -m pip uninstall sklearn and then python -m pip install scikit-learn. Now when I open python and type import sklearn it imports scikit-learn.

I feel this is unnecessarily confusing (that sklearn isn't installed as sklearn) so I'm posting here in hopes that it helps someone else.

actually, it is not installed correctly.so to install sklearn, type pip install scikit-learn in the terminal and run.then it will be solved.

The top-voted answer from last year already suggests this. Why repeat it? – Jeremy Caney Aug 05 '23 at 05:51
as in the top-voted answer, it wasn't clearly mentioned what is the reason of the problem. – Hashan Malinda Aug 17 '23 at 14:57

you basically not installed sklearn library.. so first install sklearn with below command.

pip install sklearn

and then run the code it will resolve your issue.

From `poetry add sklearn` `poetry show`: `sklearn 0.0.post1 deprecated sklearn package, use scikit-learn instead`. Installing `scikit-learn` resolves the `sklearn` dependency. – louisdeb Jan 28 '23 at 14:44

If PIP is already installed on you PC, its just a matter of running a single command pip install sklearn and it will install the sklearn module easily. You can refer to https://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html.

else you will need to install pip. Refer https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-windows for PIP installation.
