I'm new to Python (I installed the Anaconda distribution a couple weeks ago on my windows 10 machine) and am having trouble getting the pysoundfile library to import from the Spyder ipython console. These are the steps I followed:
1) I found the instructions for installing pysound here: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pysoundfile
2) At ipython console within Spyder I typed:
conda install -c conda-forge pysoundfile
This gave me a warning that I needed to restart the kernel, which I then did by closing ipython and having a new console open (I also tried quitting python down and re-opening)
3) From ipython, I typed
import pysoundfile
This gave me the following message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysoundfile'
I repeated step 2 again, but this time got the long error below after executing the conda command.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
conda install -c conda-forge pysoundfile

I was able to install Pysoundfile and here's the steps I followed:
I'm not sure why the conda commands others were able to use did not work for me, but since I have a solution, I'm all set for now.
Thank you for everyone for your suggestions.
