Installed BeautifulSoup4 in both Python 2.7 and 3.6, but ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

I've successfully installed BeautifulSoup4 in 2.7 and 3.6 in the terminal, but when I use either Spyder or Jupyter Notebook, I get the following error when trying to import bs4 when using the Python 3.6 kernel

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

I've tried the following Terminal commands:

NB: I have created separate kernels for the two versions of python:

Any other solutions that I haven't tried or anything that I've obviously missed/misunderstood?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I figured out what was going wrong. So for anyone else running into this problem, I had to do the following:

1. Activate the environment

Activate the environment (i.e. the Kernel for the python version) by using the terminal command:

$ source activate NAME_OF_YOUR_KERNEL

For which I typed in:

$ source activate py3.6

2. Install the target package

Install the target package using the terminal command:

$ conda install TARGET_PACKAGE_NAME

For which I typed in:

$ conda install beautifulsoup4

3. Deactivate your environment

$ source deactivate NAME_OF_YOUR_KERNEL

For which I typed:

$ source deactivate py3.6
