ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mininet'

I have installed mininet on my computer and now I want to run a python script with mininet. How should I do so?

If I just use python3 star.py, I get an error that:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "star.py", line 2, in <module>
    from mininet.cli import CLI
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mininet'

If I try sudo mn python3 star.py, then I get

Usage: mn [options]
(type mn -h for details)

The mn utility creates Mininet network from the command line. It can create
parametrized topologies, invoke the Mininet CLI, and run tests.

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

and if I try sudo mn and then python star.py, that doesnt work either.

You might still need to do pip install mininet even if you had installed Mininet using the procedure in the documentation.

Try to download the Mininet code, and export the path.

Example:

sudo -i
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mininet/mininet.git
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/mininet
python3 star.py
