How to solve ModuleNotFoundError No module named azure ai

Question

I’m working on a Python project using Azure AI services, but when I try to run the code, I keep getting "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.ai'". Looks like this issue is on my side—how can I fix it?

Answer 1

To fix the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.ai'" error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install the Azure AI SDK: To install the correct Azure SDK package, use pip. Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

Note: Depending on which specific Azure AI service you are using (like Azure AI Form Recognizer or Azure AI Text Analytics), you might need to install a specific package, such as:

pip install azure-ai

Step 2: Check Your Python Environment: Make sure you are using the correct Python environment where the package is installed. If you are using a virtual environment, be sure it is activated.

pip install azure-ai-formrecognizer
pip install azure-ai-textanalytics

Step 3: Verify Installation: After installation, you can verify if the module is installed correctly by running:

pip show azure-ai

Or for a specific service:

pip show azure-ai-formrecognizer

Step 4: Restart Your IDE: If you are using an IDE like Visual Studio Code or Jupyter Notebook, restart it after you install it.

Step 5: Check for Typos: Double-check your import statement for any typos. It should look like this:

from azure.ai import <specific_module>

Step 6: Update Pip: If you encounter issues with installation, consider updating pip with:

pip install --upgrade pip

Following these steps should help you resolve the ModuleNotFoundError. If you are still having issues, let me know!
