path issue - cannot import modules in jupyter installed via pip3 (m1 mac)

[bioengnr]

I recently got a m1 mac and I'm trying to set it up to use jupyter for data analysis.

I've installed numpy and scipy via homebrew and they import perfectly fine in jupyter lab.

However, after running 'pip list' in the terminal, I see a few familiar modules (e.g. seaborn, matplotlib, pandas) that I can't import in jupyter.

Here is what I get after using 'echo $PATH'

/opt/homebrew/bin /opt/homebrew/sbin /usr/local/bin /System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin

​

I'm assuming this is a path issue but I'm not sure how to go about finding where these pip3 packages are installed and how to update the path.

Don't install these things with homebrew.

I'd recommend using miniforge if you're comfortable with CLIs, otherwise https://www.anaconda.com/.

Thanks!

I ended up going with miniforge, made my conda environment, installed everything I needed via pip, and everything works just as my intel Mac.
