ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nbdev'

Hi,

I started my first nbdev project yesterday. Unfortunately I get the following error message when I try to build the docs. I found some older topics with the same issue but I couldn’t find a solution.

I tried to save the notebooks in different condo environments and run the build docs command again. But that didn’t work either.

Whats wrong with my project?

(fastai2dev) Florians-MBP:fastai2_resnet_audio florian$ nbdev_build_docs --fname 01_data_new.ipynb
converting: 01_data_new.ipynb
An error occurred while executing the following cell:
------------------
#export

Thanks Florian

@florianl, I had similar issues building my nbdev project using Windows. The workaroound that I found is to build my docs using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I use ubuntu 18 that you can find in the Windows Store. You might check out my timeseries package and its documentation that I built using fastai2 and nbdev.
