Unable to import linear regression from sklearn module

Question

I am trying to import linear regression library from sklearn module using the syntax below with Jupyter notebook:

from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

But I am getting the error below:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scipy.linalg._matfuncs_sqrtm_triu'

I have successfully installed the scikit-learn library several times but issue still persist.

I tried using both the anaconda3 power shell and system CMD as an administrator running these commands: pip install scipy and conda install scipy — Afolabi Oluwafemi, Jun 26 '21 at 04:55
Have you searched for the error that you got? What did you find? — NoDataDumpNoContribution, Jun 26 '21 at 11:29

Questions:

How are you installing scikit-learn, is it via a conda environment/a virtual environment, if so are you activating the environment before executing the said commands?
Are you able to import sklearn? is it a sklearn issue or an issue with LinearRegression module, if it is an issue with sklearn, I'd suggest creating a virtual environment/conda environment and try installing from there and try again

P.S.: not able to comment on the question directly, so have written the questions here

1. I am installing or installed scikit-learn via conda environment, and yes I activated the environment before executing the commands. – Afolabi Oluwafemi Jun 27 '21 at 06:09
2. No, I can't import sklearn as I get the same error/issue as trying to import LinearRegression module – Afolabi Oluwafemi Jun 27 '21 at 06:11
can you confirm that you installed it in the conda environment you're using?, i.e. use conda list – Harsh Sharma Jun 27 '21 at 06:16
From the output of conda list I can see scikit-learn, scipy, sklearn on the list. – Afolabi Oluwafemi Jun 28 '21 at 20:12
From the output of conda list I can see scikit-learn, scipy, sklearn on the list. With this I can confirm that it is install. But for sklearn I am seeing 0.0 could this be the installed version? – Afolabi Oluwafemi Jun 28 '21 at 20:22
Can you try removing the 0.0 version and fresh installing a new version ? – Harsh Sharma Jun 29 '21 at 02:29

Hello Harsh Sharma, thank you so much for your time. I had I completely uninstalled the Jupyter notebook then install the newest version to fix the problem. – Afolabi Oluwafemi Jun 30 '21 at 02:19
