title: What is the best way to import new python modules in intellij?
body: <p>To start, I've read the answer listed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44015425/intellij-not-finding-python-modules-installed-via-pip">here</a>, as well as tried to follow the instructions listed <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm-edu/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but the instructions were for an outdated or at least for a different version of Intellij, and the preexisting SO answer described the problem, but at least for me did not provide a solution. With that in mind:</p>
  
  <p>I'm using IntellijIdea 2017.3 on Windows. I'm trying to create a basic web scraper in Python 3 (I'm very new at this, so I apologize in advance). To accomplish this, I want to use the library BeautifulSoup, which I've successfully installed using pip:<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8RydV.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Here's what my project hierarchy looks like:</p>

  <p>Of course, when I try to import beautifulsoup in scraper.py, it tells me there's no such module. The stack overflow post I linked to above tells me that this is because pip installs into \python\python36-32\lib\site-packages, but my Python interpreter is in another directory. But how do I fix this? Do I change the directory pip installs into, do I change where my project interpreter is? Is there a way to install python libraries directly through Intellij without using the outdated PyCharm instructions above? I'm new to python in general and very confused.</p>
  
  <p>In case it helps, here's what my project settings, module settings, and SDK configuration look like:</p>
