Python ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paramiko'
The error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paramiko'" indicates that the Python interpreter cannot find the 'paramiko' module, which means the module is not installed in your Python environment. 'paramiko' is a popular Python library used for SSH connectivity and SFTP functionality.
To resolve this issue, you need to install the 'paramiko' module. You can do this using the following steps:
Check Python Version:
Verify that you are using the correct version of Python. Ensure that you are installing 'paramiko' for the same Python version that you are running your script with.Install 'paramiko' via pip:
Open a command prompt or terminal and run the following command to install 'paramiko' using pip:bashpip install paramiko
If you are using Python 3 and your system has both Python 2 and Python 3 installed, you might need to use 'pip3' instead of 'pip' to install packages for Python 3:
bashpip3 install paramiko
This will download and install the 'paramiko' package along with any required dependencies.
Check Installation:
After installation, you can verify that the 'paramiko' module is available in your Python environment by opening a Python interpreter or script and running the following:pythonimport paramiko
If you do not encounter any errors, the 'paramiko' module has been successfully installed and is available for use.
Remember that the 'paramiko' library provides SSH and SFTP capabilities, so it is generally used for remote connections. If you are running your script on a local machine and don't need SSH or SFTP functionality, you might not need to install 'paramiko.'
If you are using virtual environments (e.g., virtualenv or venv), ensure that you have activated the virtual environment before installing 'paramiko' to ensure it is installed in the correct environment.
