Tensorflow module not found in jupyter

Question

On my jupyter notebook when I run:

!pip3 install tensorflow

I get:

Requirement already satisfied: tensorflow in /home/bluegoblin/.virtualenvs/tf2Env/lib/python3.8/site-packages (2.3.1)

So, this means I do have tensorflow installed on my virtual environment.

But then when I try to import it using import tensorflow as tf on the same notebook, I get:

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-64156d691fe5> in <module>
----> 1 import tensorflow as tf

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'

The problem only exists inside jupyter notebook, outside the notebook the import works without any problem. I am running Python3.8 in Xubuntu, and I'm not using ananconda.

Create virtual environment and install Tensorflow

#Install virtualenv
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
#Create virtual environment name: venv
virtualenv venv
#Activate venv
source venv/bin/activate
#Install tensorflow
venv$ pip3 install tensorflow
#Install Jupyter notebook
venv$ pip3 install notebook
# Launch jupyter notebook
venv$ jupyter notebook
