I have used pip install rdkit-pypi to install rdkit library. But when I type import rdkit as rd, it shows the error

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing rdBase: The specified module was not found.

I am using Anaconda as a base. What should I do to work with rdkit library?

I previously encountered this problem. After some reading, I came to know that the python version above 3.8.0 would not be compatible with rdkit. Even you need to change your base to rdkit. I solve this by first downgrading the anaconda version with the python version lower than 3.8.0. then I set my rdkit environment.

In this image u can see my python version and I'm not getting any error

In second image u can see my base to my-rdkit-envs
