title: Installing Python modules with Anaconda or Canopy
body: <p>I have played around with Python a little but never have I had to install my own packages. I am currently trying to write a program that reads in 'tiff' files so I'm trying to install the 'libtiff' package and I'm having a nightmare!</p>
  
  <p>First, I was using the Anaconda distribution and the phrase 'conda install libtiff' which would tell me the install was successful. However then I was never able to find libtiff in the Spyder IDE or ipython console.</p>
  
  <p>Having used Canopy in the past, I uninstalled Anaconda and gave Canopy another shot using 'pip install libtiff', however I receive an error saying it failed with error code 1 and I don't know what this is.</p>
  
  <p>I must be missing something fairly crucial but installing this module is proving almost impossible!</p>
