Installing a package from git in Anaconda environment which is afterwards not recognized in Python

Question

I'm trying to install a python package directly from github. In my case that's SciANN . When I selected my environment in conda using conda activate myenv and afterwards install this package as explained in this post using the following lines of code:

conda install git pip
pip install git+git://github.com/sciann/sciann.git

it is successfully installed and I get the message "Successfully built SciANN" in the end of the insatllation procedure. When I then open spyder and type import sciann I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sciann' . I also tried to use pip3 instead of pip but this did not change something.

Have I missed something? Is this package now installed correctly into my environment myenv ?

The deleted answer from Jay Prakash together with the comments brought me on track. Yes there can be different versions of packages installed. So in my case SciANN was installed using pip as they currently do not offer a conda installation while all my other packages where installed with conda . I ended up having two different versions of tensorflow installed, one from pip and one from conda so I deleted one. Additionally I used Python version 3.7 while this package supports only up to 3.6. And I had to use a non official tensorflow version because my CPU does not support AVX which is a whole new topic.
