Hi I am using Pycharm to work on my data. The console has the following details: Python 3.7.9 on win32 IPython 7.19.0 PyDev console: using IPython 7.19.0

My problem is everytime I want to install a python package such as: pip install pyspellchecker

I obtain the following error: Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

I have clicked on the "rerun" button (in green) which is on the top left handside of the Python console but still does not work.

Can anyone help?

you should never have to restart the kernel when installing packages with pip

pip must be run from terminal window (command window on windows)
not from python interpreter.
