How to Fix ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘skbuild’

Python raises ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘skbuild’ error when the “skbuild” module is not installed in your environment.

The easy fix for the ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘skbuild’ error is to install the “scikit-build” library using this command: pip install scikit-build.

If you try to import a package that depends on “skbuild” and the module is not installed, you will get the “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘skbuild'” error message.

Python code that generates an error

import sklearn

print("Using scikit-learn version", sklearn.__version__)

Output

 ModuleNotFoundError: no module named 'skbuild'

In this code, if you did not install the “scikit-build” library, it will throw the above error.

As we already discussed, install the scikit-build library and import it into your Python file, which will fix the error.

Python code that fixes the error

We will use the same code as the previous section because there was no problem in the code part; we solved a problem with the installation part by installing it.

import sklearn

print("Using scikit-learn version", sklearn.__version__)

Output

Using scikit-learn version 1.2.0

After installing the module, you can see that we imported the dependent packages without encountering the “ModuleNotFoundError” error message.

Alternate solutions

If you are still facing an error, you need to upgrade your pip using this command:

pip install --upgrade pip

If you are facing this error through the “opencv-python” library, install the opencv-python library using this command: pip install opencv-python.

Conclusion

Install the “scikit-build” library using the “pip install scikit-build” command to fix the “ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘skbuild'” error in Python.
