I’ve installed scvi-tools and using =  
**pip show scvi-tools** I’ve confirmed this.  
However, when I’m trying to import it I receive the error =  
**no module named “scvi”**.  
Does anyone know how to proceed?

Hi, thank you for your question. Could you confirm what scvi-tools version was installed, as well as details regarding your environment (Python version, platform)?

Thanks! I would recommend reinstalling the latest version of scvi-tools (0.20.1) and seeing if the problem still persists.
