How do I install sqlalchemy in Python?

The standard way to install sqlalchemy is by running `python -m pip install sqlalchemy`. If you are using Anaconda, use `conda install -c conda-forge sqlalchemy`.

Why causes the 'No module named sqlalchemy' error?

This error occurs when the python interpreter cannot locate the `sqlalchemy` package. It is often caused by missing installation or environment mismatch (e.g. installing in global but running in venv).
