How to resolve ImportError: No module named skimage?

Usually , a Python-based compiler will encounter the error ImportError: No module named skimage when the user tries to import skimage library.

import skimage
from skimage.segmentation import slic

It is most likely to occur because of the following reasons:

  • The scikit-image library is not installed.

  • The library is set up in a Python virtual environment.

  • There was an error or misspelling when attempting to import the module

We can resolve this error by installing the skimage library on our Python environment.

pip install scikit-image

This will download and install the library on our system and we will be given access to import the particular module.

After the sci-kit image is installed, you have to check if the installation was successful. This can be done by importing the module in a Python script and running the code.

For example:

import skimage
print(skimage.__version__)
print("Skimage has been imported successfully.")

You can run the above code to verify that the skimage module has been installed on your system.
