Program works when I run it on the IDE (Pycharm) but not when I run it on the terminal?

Question

So I've written a desktop application on Python. It works fine when I run it by manually clicking 'Run main' through the IDE but when I do: python main.py the terminal does find the program but doesn't recognize the libaries.

I've tried installing the libaries/modules a couple of times on the terminal and it says i've installed them but i guess not. These are the libaries/modules that refuses to work.

from iconsdk.icon_service import IconService
from iconsdk.providers.http_provider import HTTPProvider

The output on the console (when I run 'python main.py') is this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 1, in import gui File "/Users/adam/PycharmProjects/igotmemed/gui.py", line 9, in import blockgen File "/Users/adam/PycharmProjects/igotmemed/blockgen.py", line 2, in from iconsdk.providers.http_provider import HTTPProvider File "/Users/adam/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/iconsdk/providers/http_provider.py", line 17, in import requests File "/Users/adam/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/requests/ init .py", line 43, in import urllib3 File "/Users/adam/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/ init .py", line 8, in from .connectionpool import ( File "/Users/adam/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 26, in from .packages.ssl_match_hostname import CertificateError ImportError: cannot import name 'CertificateError' from 'urllib3.packages.ssl_match_hostname' (unknown location)

Something significant to note is 'CertificateError'.

Did you create your project with PyCharm? Because I think it also creates a virtual environment by default. Here is how the new project screen looks like:

Checking the location of your virtual env:

In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), select Project: | Project Interpreter.

There you should be able to see the location of the project's virtual environment.

Then simply activate that virtual environment from your terminal and run your script.
