I have the same problem and I solved it and the explanation is as follow:

If the Seaborn package is not installed in anaconda, you will not be able to update it, namely, if in the Terminal we type: conda update seaborn

it will fail showing: "PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: 'seaborn' Package 'seaborn' is not installed in /Users/yifan/anaconda"

Thus we need to install seaborn in anaconda first by typing in Terminal: conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/anaconda seaborn

Then the seaborn will be fetched and installed in the environment of anaconda, namely in my case, /Users/yifan/anaconda

Once this installation is done, we will be able to import seaborn in python.

Side note, to check and list all discoverable environments where python is installed in anaconda, type in Terminal: conda info --envs

I got same issue with Seaborn   I uninstalled python  anaconda and reinstalled anaconda 4 1 1 with python 3 6  After that installed seaboarn again                  conda install seaborn           And it worked  If you are still facing issue  I would recommend you doing this

Problem may not be associated with Seaborn but Utils package which may not be installed     sudo pip uninstall requests   and reinstalling  it no longer would work at all  Luckily  dnf install python-requests fixed the whole thing     Also check for utils package is installed or not  You can install package using     sudo pip install utils   Check this link Python ImportError  cannot import name utils

It seams that missing dependency of python-dev  install python-dev and then try to install seaborn  if you are using Ubuntu   sudo apt-get install python-dev -y pip install seaborn

I would definitely recommend that you install Anaconda and then use the  pip install seaborn  command from the Lab Jupyter IDE  It should work  It seems that the package is already pre-installed on Lab Jupyter

I solved this problem by looking at sys path  the path for finding modules  while in ipython and noticed that I was in a special environment  because I use conda    so i went to my terminal and typed  source activate py27   is my python 2 7 environment  and then  conda update seaborn   restarted my jupyter kernel  and then all was good

I solved the same importing problem reinstalling to seaborn package with  conda install -c https   conda anaconda org anaconda seaborn  by typing  the command on a Windows command console   Afterwards I could  then import seaborn successfully  when I launched the IPython Notebook via on Anaconda launcher   On the other failed way launching the IPython Notebook via Anaconda folder did not work for me

I had faced the same problem  Restarting the notebook solved my problem   If that doesn t solve the problem  you can try this  pip install seaborn   Edit  As few people have posted in the comments  you can also use   python -m pip install seaborn   Plus  as per https   bugs python org issue22295 it is a better way because in this case  you can specify which version of python  python3 or python2  to use for running pip

As  avp says the bash line pip install seaborn should work I just had the same problem and and restarting the notebook didn t seem to work but running the command as jupyter line magic was a neat way to fix the problem without restarting the notebook  Jupyter Code-Cell     bash pip install seaborn
