ModuleNotFoundError: no module named 'transformers'

This is my first post and I am new to coding, so please let me know if you need more information. I have been running some AI to generate artwork and it has been working, but when I reloaded it the python script won't work and it is now saying "No module named 'transformers'". Can anyone help me out? It was when I upgraded to Google Colab Pro that I started to encounter issues although I am not sure why that would make a difference.

ModuleNotFoundError

I encountered the same problem. I rectified this by:

  1. Selecting the Python kernel in the vs code editor.
  2. Please check the environmental variables, and whether you have given the correct path variable.
  3. Finally pip install transformers torch.

Now set to go

These are some possible solutions

1. Install the required package:

Run the following command

!pip install transformers

Or, if that doesn’t work, try

!pip3 install transformers

Please note the use of !, as it is a shell command, and not a python script.

2. Start over with a new run-time:

Click Runtime > Disconnect and delete runtime

Then click Runtime > Run all

In addition to @chattershuts answer and based on a different answer on the usage of magic functions (the full post can be found here), I would recommend the usage of these magic functions.

Therefore, the command would be-

%pip install transformers

Even after I used this command (pip install transformers) the terminal said,

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'transformers'

But this solved it, in vscode terminal:

python -m pip install transformers

Sometimes your editor will confuse python interpreters.

Probably use

!python -m pip install transformers

You need to check which environment you are installing the library in and which one you are using to run the cells. Perhaps this is the problem.

It's not very intuitive, and for some reason the notebook doesn't change the environment to the correct one automatically when switching

Even when you change the environment and run "!pip install transformers" in the cell, it will be installed in the originally selected environment

if it does not work with pip, try installing it with anaconda: conda install -c conda-forge transformers

If the already installed package shows in !pip show transformers but you still cannot import transformers, try restarting Python kernel (runtime) using Jupyter Lab/Notebook (Google Colab) menu.

This worked for me in Google Colab's GPU (T4) instance after installing transformers with pip initially produced the above error message during import attempts.

Assuming you are referring to the module here https://pypi.org/project/transformers/ you need to install transformers with pip

Probably it is because you have not installed in your (new, since you've upgraded to colabs pro) session the library transformers. Try to run as first cell the following: !pip install transformers (the "!" at the beginning of the instruction is needed to go into "terminal mode" ). This will download the transformers package into the session's environment.
