Then I create and copy the code into the file app.py ,but when execute ‘‘python app.py’’
It shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
** File “app.py”, line 2, in **
** import dash**
ImportError: No module named dash

Anyone can help me to find out the reason of this error?
Thanks!

It looks like the python installation you’re getting on the command line is either not the same as the one used to install those libraries, or its just not picking up the libraries somehow (and nothing to do with Dash in particular). I see that the packages are being installed into ~/.local. Is that because you used the --user flag to pip?

Using virtualenvs to manage locally installed packages is generally easier than installing them with the --user flag. I would suggest going down that route instead. There’s plenty of tutorials out there on how to start with virtualenvs.
