I installed text blob with the line below on my PC:
$ git clone
This then happened:
pcarrera@LAP-JYT456465 ~/Python
$ git clone

I wanted to test it with the simple script below:
from textblob import textblob
text = ''' The movie was great. The movie was bad. The movie was really bad
'''
blob = textblob(text)
for sentence in blob.sentences:
print(sentence.sentiment.polarity)
But I got this error and I do not know how to move forward:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "textblob_install.py", line 1, in <module>
from textblob import textblob
ImportError: No module named textblob
Please help (new to Python)

Use python -m pip install textblob. If you are using conda or virtualenv, you'll want to activate that environment before installing.
git clone <blah> will put files onto your computer, but your python interpreter doesn't know where those files are. The git repo probably has files like a setup.py among others, which can help you install it, but again it needs to still be installed in a useable way in the site-packages directory of your python installation.
Note, do not git clone into site-packages, it will throw errors like "TextBlob is not a python module"
Ran into the same issue: TextBlob's documentation seems to indicate that 2 steps are required to install textblob:
pip install -U textblob
and
python -m textblob.download_corpora
After doing that, it worked for me. Documentation found at
You need to install the package according to your python-version, in my case (Python3) I use the incorrect one, because the first time was:
!pip install textblob
And the correct instruction is:
!pip3 install textblob
It is required to download and import library
!pip install textblob #for installation
import textblob #to import
from textblob import TextBlob
The installation of the package not completed. You should install the package properly.
pip install -U textblob
