**OS** : Win 10  
**PsychoPy version** : PsychoPy 2022.1.3  
**Standard Standalone?** : Yes  
**What are you trying to achieve?:** Import and use scikit-learn

**What did you try to make it work?:**  
I’ve tried a previous solution posted [here](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/psychopy-does-not-recognize-scikit-learn/16450) and downloaded the cp38 .whl file and placed in **…/PsychoPy/Lib/site-packages/** , but I get the following error message: **No module named ‘sklearn’**

I’ve also tried downloading the tar.gz file and placing it in **…/PsychoPy/Lib/site-packages/** , but I get the following error message: **ImportError: cannot import name ‘linear\_models’ from ‘sklearn’ (unknown location)**

Thank you very much in advance.
