[scikit-image] Import error No module named skimage

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

For python 3.5 in case you have multiple python versions and want to install with python3.5:

pip3 install scikit-image --user

You can use pip install scikit-image.

Also see the recommended procedure.

For OSX: pip install scikit-image

and then run python to try following

from skimage.feature import corner_harris, corner_peaks

Hey this is pretty simple to solve this error.Just follow this steps:

First uninstall any existing installation:

pip uninstall scikit-image

or, on conda-based systems:

conda uninstall scikit-image

Now, clone scikit-image on your local computer, and install:

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
pip install -e .  # Reinstall

For other os and manual process please check this Link.

OSX python3

Just run this code in your terminal:

sudo pip3 install scikit-image

If you faced any other issues please check this link for more.

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.

For Python 3, try the following:

import sys
!conda install --yes --prefix {sys.prefix} scikit-image
