Not able to run in PyCharm but able to run in terminal

Question

I am trying to execute this code in pycharm

import nltk

sentence = """ we all are gonna die"""

tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(sentence)

print(tokens)

But I keep getting this error

/Users/yoshithKotla/pythonProject/bin/python /Users/yoshithKotla/Desktop/pythonProject/main.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/yoshithKotla/Desktop/pythonProject/main.py", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nltk'

But I am able to run the same code using terminal

PyCharm doesn't automatically include all packages for all projects, you have to go to the project settings and install the packages you want available: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html have you done that yet? — Random Davis, Apr 05 '21 at 15:20
Note the line `/Users/yoshithKotla/pythonProject/bin/python /Users/yoshithKotla/Desktop/pythonProject/main.py`. This tells you that the python executable being used is located within the same directory as the project, and is probably a virtual environment. You have installed the module globally, but not in this virtual environment. — Oli, Apr 05 '21 at 15:21
The question lacks debugging details. It doesn't give enough information about how `nltk` is installed. If you are using a venv, or another virtual environment, if you activated that environment and how you are executing the code. see [Install, uninstall, and upgrade packages](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html). Running on the terminal you have to [activate the venv](https://stackoverflow.com/a/24720790) — bad_coder, Apr 06 '21 at 13:32

Make sure the interpreter PyCharm uses is the same as you are using in your terminal. ( Run > Run... > Edit configurations > Python Interpreter )

@YoshithKotla Same version does not imply that it's the same interpreter. You need to check the interpreter's path. PyCharm usually creates a new interpreter using a virtual environment (see `venv` module) for each project. There are separate from the system Python installation. – Brian61354270 Apr 05 '21 at 15:35

The nltk module is installed globally and the python project has no access to it. Changing that setting will solve the problem :)
