I installed fenics using

```auto
conda create -n fenicsproject -c conda-forge fenics

```

and added the fenicsproject environment to Jupyter Notebook following ’ How to add your Conda environment to your jupyter notebook in just 4 steps’ by Cooper R K. It all went well. However when I try to run a simple code

```auto
from dolfin import *
from fenics import *

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mesh = UnitSquareMesh(32,32)

```

I get the error

```auto
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [6], in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 from dolfin import *
      2 from fenics import *
      3 from tabulate import tabulate

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dolfin'

```

I have python version 3.9 installed and the output of `pip3 list` is

As you have not stated what those steps are, or provided any resources pointing to them, its hard to tell whats gone wrong.

Clearly, as shown by the output or pip list, the packages are not listed. Have you checked the output of `echo $PYTHONPATH` or

```auto
import sys
print(sys.path)

```

Is your conda env listed here? If not you need to switch to the correct kernel in the notebook.

This at least seems to be sensible, as it points to your env.

As seen here, you are now installing the correct package. I.e.

Should have been  
`conda create -n fenicsproject -c conda-forge fenics-dolfin`

</div>

so I reinstalled fenics using

```auto
conda create -n fenicsproject -c conda-forge fenics-dolfin

```

which replaced other. This returned

I installed python version 3.9 in the base environment

```auto
(base) elizabethhawkins@Elizabeths-Air ~ % python --version
Python 3.9.15

```

Then downloaded fenics and activated the environment but the python version in this environment is still python 3.11

```auto
(fenicsproject) elizabethhawkins@Elizabeths-Air ~ % python --version
Python 3.11.0

```

How do I change it without doing

```auto
conda uninstall python

```

```auto
conda install python=3.9

```

in the fenics environment?

After you have called conda install python=3.9 call  
`conda install -c conda-forge fenics-dolfin`
