You can simply use conda package manager to install wordcloud, just run:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge wordcloud

I have python 3.6.3 installed on my windows system. I installed wordcloud package in python but faced the "wordcloud No Module Found" error on Anaconda Jupyter Notebook.

I tried most of the solutions posted here but nothing worked for me.

Finally I installed wordcloud package in the Scripts directory under Anacond3 directory in the command prompt using:

pip install wordcloud

This worked and I am able to import wordcloud on Jupyter now.

There is a new version available now but this one worked for me

With Anaconda python 3.6

  • download from this link.
  • wordcloud 1.3.2‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
  • Then don't extract the file, copy and paste the dir in cmd.
  • Use this command pip install wordcloud-1.3.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

It is trying to build Word Cloud using Visual Studio. If you don't have it you can get a subset called "Microsoft Build Tools 2015" here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159

Even having a full version of Visual Studio 2015 and my path set up properly I still had trouble installing using pip. I also had no luck with the conda installer. The following worked for me:

  1. Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#wordcloud and download the wheel for the version of Word Cloud you need.
  2. From the command prompt install using pip. For example, pip install wordcloud-1.2.1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

After a long try:

1) Download the latest version of WordCloud from this link.

2) Copy it into the Script directory under Anaconda3.

3) Open the command prompt and do pip install wordcloud. (If a win[5] authorization error occurs, try doing pip from the admin command prompt or sudo pip install wordcloud.)

You should have a virtual environment for each project or group of projects that use a particular set of packages. I use Anaconda. Jupyter should be installed in each of your virtual environments. Let's assume you've already created the environment foo. Then:

  • conda activate foo
  • conda install jupyter
  • conda install -c conda-forge wordcloud

Now when you do the import it should work. My import:

from wordcloud import WordCloud, STOPWORDS

I've got the similar error but related to certification, if the error is:

Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([(\'SSL routines\', \'ssl3_get_server_certificate\', \'certificate verify failed\')])",),))',),)

This other SO question helped me. It basically said to do:

conda config --set ssl_verify false
