unable to install python-dotenv in python in script running on Azure Machine Learning experiment

Question

I created a new experiment in Azure Machine Learning to run an endpoint of a Python script. The Python script itself runs fine but then when I run the driver of the Python script, I get an error when I try to run python-dotenv .

All of these statements throw an SyntaxError: invalid syntax error :

get_ipython().system('pip install python-dotenv')
pip install --upgrade python-dotenv
pip install python-dotenv
pip install -U python-dotenv
!pip install python-dotenv

If I don't try to install python-dotenv , I get this error:

from dotenv import load_dotenv  # pip install python-dotenv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

Instead of directly using pip install <name> you can use the python -m pip install <name>

I had tried with pip install Some times it may given the syntax error while accessing outside of the installed directory. Instead you can use python -m pip install <name> .

Make sure Your Pip version should be latest or try to update by using python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip .

Use the below snippet to install the Python-dotenv

python -m pip install --upgrade python-dotenv
python -m pip install python-dotenv
python -m pip install -U python-dotenv
python -m !pip install python-dotenv
