I am trying to run the vaex module which requires Python 3.6 and, apparently, a conda install rather than a pip install. I don’t really know what I’m doing here, but I went ahead and installed Anaconda and created a new conda environment through the Anaconda prompt using conda create -n research_project_conda python=3.6 vaex numpy pandas scikit-learn. That went without any problems, and I can load the environment in VSCode. However, when I try to run a script using this environment I get the error below:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.6 from "C:Usersmarijminiconda3envsresearch_project_condapython.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.19.2"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I tried to add some paths to my PATH according to this thread, but it still doesn’t work. Again, I’m a bit of a noob at this. Does anyone know what may be the issue?
