How to fix "No module named 'nmap'"

Question

import nmap
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nmap'

the above is the result when trying to run the code after importing nmap. (I have installed python-nmap using pip in cmd)

What IDE do you use? Do you have your module in your path? – vojtam Feb 17 '21 at 07:27 — vojtam, Feb 17 '21 at 07:27
You should check your python environment variables. – Algopark Feb 17 '21 at 08:42 — Algopark, Feb 17 '21 at 08:42

hmm. tried this but doesnt work. import nmap works on pycharm but not on visual studio 2019. i think my visual studio IDE does not know where to look for the libraries. pre installed libraries like socket works fine – Yoosuf Ismath Feb 19 '21 at 04:45

i found out the issue. when i chose a python env eg- python 3.8 32bit from the IDE, i chose a custom version thats why the imports dont work. when i chose the default env it worked. anyways thank for the help. there is nothing wrong with the IDE

I had to do two things to get it working:

Install the latest version of Python3 (3.9.6) https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-396/
On your terminal:
```
pip3 install python-nmap
```

I had to do the following to get things to work:

On your terminal, switch to root privilege: su - root
Then, install python-nmap module: pip3 install python-nmap

Why do you need to switch to superuser if you are using `sudo`? – let me down slowly Feb 19 '22 at 21:44

@shhh Right, you don't have to use the sudo command and thanks for pointing that out. For some reason, I needed to switch to root user for pip3 install python-nmap to work. – Duncan Feb 20 '22 at 20:23
