The accepted answer did not work for me for python3/pip3. It turns out the code I tried to run, was trying to import multiprocess, not multiprocessing.

So I installed the package multiprocess:

pip3 install multiprocess

For others who faces Similar error like

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'multiprocessing';

would also occur if you name your python file as multiprocessing.(as it makes ambiguity between your program name and actual module name) Just rename your file and it will work (if you have dependency installed).

Seems like you are installing multiprocessing in the python 2 version. Could you use pip3 to install the package?

pip3 install multiprocessing

Also use the following command to check which pip you are using 

$ ls -l `which pip`
$ ls -l `which pip3`

And to see if the package got correctly installed or not use 

$ pip show pip
$ pip3 show pip

Update: multiprocessing is built-in after python2.6 OP did a typo. It should be import multiprocessing in place of import mutiprocessing
